Photographer’s Note
In Southern Ethiopia , in a place called Omo Valley, several tribes still live indifferent to the passing of time and consumerism of the 1st world.
A travel back to the past and to the more primitive human behaviors . Absolutely shocking.

This one is good too, although it doesn't quite have the impact of your other shot.
I reckon you might have been trying to avoid cropping those bottles on his back, but it's resulted in the boy being a bit crammed against the left edge of the frame. I'd prefer it with his shoulder nearer the right edge, leaving more space in front of him than behind.
Again you caught a strong expression, although it looks a bit like he's picking his nose with that stick - maybe you could have waited a moment until he moved slightly to get some separation there.
I wanted to go to Omo when I was in Ethiopia, but 2 weeks just wasn't enough time - I'll have to go back there soon, if I get the chance.
Cheers,
Ben
