Photographer’s Note

This shot was taken in Chiclayo Peru. When I look at this photo, I simply remember being chased by a dog. I know I shouldn't of trespassed on somebody's roof, but it was worth it. I love how the child looked directly at me at this shot. It's a beautiful country with beautiful people.

Great shot, Jael--excellent POV! I like your framing putting the cart down in a corner, emphasizing the expanse of dust. I agree, it really helps the shot that you caught the boy looking at you. My only suggestion is to make the photo bigger--take advantage of the full 800 pixels TE allows.

In Peru from my observation dogs seem to like to hang out on roofs, so I'm surprised you got chased by one there!

Regards, Ken.

Hello Jael
Your picture is falling to the left, all pictures weight is at left side, in right there is only direct road. You can test, rotate your picture 30 degrees to the right, new cropping, and you can see what i mean.

Different picture, maybe "chased by a dog" makes you take this kind of composition.

You have boys eye contact, good position with camera.

Interesting moment.
Regards
Jussi
