Nothing more to improve this, Manny. The picture says it all.

This is very well done Manny. Your composition, the look in the boys eyes, the stark background and even the snot under his nose all make for a very compelling shot. This is very good.

Extremely powerful portrait Manuel, the tight frame on the right works really well. A beautiful child too with a nosedrip that symbolizes his human fragility. Excellent work!

Wonderful composition. I do not understand exactly how you composed the background, but the result is here and really nice. The child's expression is wonderful.

Wonderful photo!
I like very much the way you framed it, it adds something... Like: "You don't know everything, but please keep aware of Us..."
Very well done Manuel.
I will add it to my Children of the World Theme. I hope you won't mind.

This is just a wonderful live portrait. The empty space seems to meant for a message from the Red Cross or a similar organization.

Beautiful portrait, excellently done, great crop - the best shot today. As for me, I don't think you needed to explain each detail - your photography did the job on its own.

Mabuhay Manuel!
I love this picture and I can totally relate to the concept behind the photo. But I am so curious to see the entire face of this beautiful child...
Good work!

hi manny
i think your photograph is very good
though i won't say that it tells the story of displaced people, but there is something very nice oozing out of this kid. this is a very very warm photograph and makes me feel like your heart was in it when you were taking the photograph. there isa need for more photographs like this

If you have the time, you should go back and doa serious study of the Aeta, both photos and some information about them, and have an exhibition in Bangkok and maybe in Manila. You've framed this very well - in fact there's nothing I can see to impove here.

Your photos exhibit not only creative vision and skillful craftsmanship, but a mature appreciation for the human condition, as witnessed by this powerful photograph. You used your production skills to perfection in conveying an important message. I can't imagine a change that would improve it. Thank you very much for sharing your vision.

Very sensitive! The defused light is doing a great work here.
I'm not entirely sure about the crop from above though, pressing the figure.

Hi Manuel, I like it just the way it is. Smart shot, and you get a very nice effect by not putting the boy's face in the centre.. it's a great pic. Indeed, the white of the sand (I'm glad you told us it was sand, I'd never guessed) looks good in contrast with the dark skin. The way he leaves his mouth open, and the runny nose on top.. it's all innocence. Muy bien.

cheers sarah

Hi Manny, I love your composition, and the expression on the boy's face, but the noise is a bit distracting to me, and I also think I little more contrast might help. I did a workshop; hope you like it!

Thanks for sharing!

Hi Manny,

I have always been stunned each time I saw the pictures that you took. The meaning behind the pictures can be clearly understood by myself as I have been there to the Philippines and have a picture on Children Poverty as well. I think iGirl did a good job on this picture but this one is good enough. Boracay is a very nice place.

Poverty happens everywhere, but it affects our next generation we just feel painful deep inside our heart. If you do not mind I will add my picture to your theme here.


Good One Manny and thanks for passing this message across the world.
