Alex,
Like the situation. The baby face came out nice and adorable. Background little hazy probably due to distance,

This is a very well captured common Peruvian scene. The distant, almost dreamy expression on the boys face adds a lot of emotion to this shot, as well, and is aided by the narrow DOF. Perhaps it would have been nice to include the rest of the father's bag, as i'm not sold on the crop of the bottom.

Thanks!

Hi Ken,

Another sweet image. The boy's face observing things aroung is so cute! Shallow DOF is perfect in my opinnion once it get all the attention to the duo father-son.

Regards,

Flavia

Some serious depth of field my man....very nice shot of these locals that leaves a lot up to the viewers imagination...some may see happy family others povert and despair...I won't say where I fall in line but I appreciate the shot a lot
cheers

Très belle scène de vie, très touchante. Il me semble que tu pourrais essayer un recadrage vertical pour supprimer ces personnes en arrière plan qui distraient le regard
Amicalement
