Photographer’s Note

this little boy was sitting in a tree next to a nearly dry channel in the mekong delta. he was watching the rural women on the riverside who where waiting for the water to come back after the low tide so that they could go away with the boat again.

Hi Juliette,
a wonderful, graceful portrait!
I love the composition and the soft light... the perfect lines of the small profile.

hi Julia

Welcome to TE community although I see that you have already posted several photos here and that you have into candid portrait and street photography.

I find this shot to be very interesting because of the presentation of your quick moment of capture when this boy peeks out between the tree trunks, giving you natural frame. Good work in freezing the side profile so nicely with the eye wide open and thoughtful mood expression.

I like the bokeh and color tone, although I think it is a pity the focus sharpness is not there and I strongly suggest that you write good notes for all your posts to tell more about them, so that viewers can understand your situation of shooting and give you better comments to improve the work.

Greetings from Borneo.
tfs, bill
