Taken at the Bir Ali fish market. All throughout the coast of Yemen you find some amazing fish markets, full of colourful characters and of course fish, and fishy smells.

The strong eye-contact and the high POV makes this image perfect! I feel like I am the photographer and I am taking this shot

Excellent shot! The close in view of the boy gives this shot a feeling of some intimacy, yet we can also see the fish in the background, giving this some context of the setting. The fish also seem to create some radiating lines around the boy's head - an interesting effect. Well done!

Hola daniel.

Espectacular la cara del niño! Encima los colores y la definición son buenísimos!

Un saludo, oscar

Hola Daniel

Ya extrañabamos tu fotos de contenido social. La imagen es muy llamativa, por la expresividad tan abierta del niño, con gran nitidez y contraste. La composición tiene mucha fuerza con los pescados que se reflejan en el fondo.

John

this is a fun portrait and an interesting POV - the kid is cute with such big eyes!!

Hello Daniel,
Splendid portrait shot with the focus on the boy's big eyes.Together with the fishes as a background this photo became a great documentary shot about daily life!

many wishes for the weekend,
Thomas

Bonjour Daniel,
Tes portraits du Yemen sont fantastiques, j'admire beaucoup... Non seulement la technique mais aussi la présence.
Bravo !
Cath.

Un superbe gros plan au grand angle. J'aime beaucoup l'effet qui rend la tête est énorme.
Trés bien fait.
A+, JC

Hello stranger,

Love the way the wide angle has really emphasised his eyes here, they really pull the viewer into the photo. Great portrait.

excellent portrait, daniel. I love the way you give clues about the boy's surroundings. his eyes are sharp and focused, his narrow tiny shoulders make me want to hug him. congrats.

very deep!i like it.

Some wise man said: Photographing fish might be a fishy business at the times...

Obviously you've managed Daniel, to avoid the traps and ditches and bumps and made your fish business as pleasantly looking as ever...
Gosh... there is nothing better than nature shots !!!

:-))))

Stay brisk, brother

Hola Daniel,
Estupendo retrato de este niño de grandes y expresivos ojos. Excelentes colores y detalles.
Cordialmente
Charo

Salut Daniel, elle est très réussie ta photo, encore une fois je trouve qu'il y a du nygus dans ce style de photo, un POV déroutant, un coté dépouillé tout en étant bien pensé, une netteté sélective idéale, bref c'est une réussite selon moi.
J'aime beaucoup, tu es très doué pour prendre des photos de gens en les mettant en "situation".
Bravo

Salut Daniel,
J'aime beaucoup cet angle de vue très original avec un excellent cadrage et ce regard un rien amusé de l'enfant. C'est vraiment bien vu et le titre est bien trouvé.
Amitiés
Marc

Hi Daniel,
I like your high point of view and wide angle to capture this curious boy. Wonderful sharpness and very well composed to include some of the fish in the background. Great work!
Regards
Wanda

Hi Daniel,

choosing from all your excellent photo is really hard, but this one is intrigating because of the big eyes and the fishes in the background.

Great photo!

Congratulations,

Mateja

Yo Daniel!

This is a great photo with an interesting POV and composition. I enjoy the downward perspective with the boy looking up slightly and the way the fish are laid out in the background.

Nice colours also....

PS: Yes, I still live in Bordeaux! Do you travel here much?

Hi Daniel,
excellent eye catching portrait with a perfect composition!
A smile

Hi Daniel

Great portrait, like the boys expression and the inclusion of the fish.
