Shadows of glory Photo

Photographer’s Note

Kids playing on a field right in front of Sibam:
Shibam is anarchitectural marvel. The day we were there there was a lot of activity in these fields: kids playing, some religious gathering, old men chatting.

Soccer is big in Yemen and wherever there is an empty space, kids occupy it to play. Some of them may dream of future glories.

Elle est superbe celle-ci ! Ces silhouettes que l'on devine à peine et cette explosion solaire sont de toute beauté... Très beau boulot !

Hi Daniel,
wow, what a fantastic light! Very well composed, with the silhouettes of the goal and the boys, and the dust in the air adds to the atmosphere. Regards, Johannes

Daniel: didn't get a chance the other day so comment on this fine image. I think it has alot of Alex Webb in there, and perhaps it's just the fact that it's a 'low-key' image (dark hues) that makes people skip over the thumbnail. Excellent composition with light and shadow. Great color too. Take it easy, friend, c

Hey Daniel, I remember this spot exactly, and walked around this area with the sun setting. The kids were awesome around here and had tons of energy. I'm sure you drew alot of attention. Great shot including the soccer posts, and the silhouettes with the fading sun.

Regards,
David
