The Wall Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

I was quite lucky to take this picture - the Chinese kid looking curiously at a foreigner from behind the thick wall (which is gradually cracking) and me looking at him hidden there. Quite symbolic ...

Hi Marek. I've often wanted to take a version of this photo - the person peeping through a hole or crack in the wall. You captured the moment here. Well done! I like the photos, but I think it could be better if:

- you had gotten only one of the kid's eyes.
- you could have gotten closer to the kid and included more of his face in the frame.

The diagnal lines draw my eyes straight to the boy's face. Nice job with that. I just wish so much of the photo was not taken up by the wall... Ah well. Next time!
