Good portrait of child labour. His concentrated face and the money in his hand could have made a good pic in its own right. But the colours add a lot.

What I like most, however, is the fact that the background has a dark and a light part divided by the figure. I think this can be emphasized.

I'll try a workshop, but its already a good effect as it stands.

Nice portrait Ayman. You have done well with the exposure in what looks to be pretty harsh light. The motion blur of the notes and concentrated gaze of the child both reflect his activity of counting the notes. I think Mikkels workshop is good as it removes the distracting elements in the background while also serving to concentrate more on the boy. Good shot

Very good portrait, Ayman. The boy is very focused in counting the money, and you handled the strong light really well in this shot. Colors are beautiful, too. Well done. I like Mikkel's WS a lot, too.

Yes Ayman, good portrait of child labour. His concentrated face and the money in his hand could have made a good pic in its own right. Very well done!

I like this one Ayman - it's very much of a "real life" and the combination of this one and the one posted before give us some picture of the life of this boy. I'm glad to see that at the end of this hard work day he managed to sell the bread, and looks like he is enjoying counting the money...

Excellent, Ayman. I love this shot, and the way you captured him with the money, counting. This is a great shot, with a great timing and a wonderfull collection of colors. Very very good shot, Ayman, do you have more of this boy?

La scène est très intéressante sur le travail quotidien du jeune homme, le sujet est bien cadré.
Cependant les chaises à l'arrière dérangent un peu la composition.

The scene is very interesting on the daily work of the young man, the subject is well tallied. However the chairs in the back disturb a little the composition.

Oh! This look!:)) perfectly seen shot. I like this portrait. I do not think, that this boy saw you, it so is borrowed with the business! But as I miss across Egypt!!!... Perhaps I shall come in May:)

Wonderfull picture, Ayman.

I like this composition, and soft colors tones.

Well done

Voila le style de photo que l'on devrais voir le plus souvent sur ce site car cela est bien le but en presentant son pays ses coutumes et toutes les personnes qui le font vivre. Bien vu dans la presentation et surtout pour le naturel de votre photo Ayman.

Rockyboy (20580) 2004-04-23 19:16

I agree about the colors they are nice... but I 'd framed him not in the center. I like also Miks's WS. Anyway, a nice picture Ayman!

Good snapshot. He is really concentrated on his counting. Good DOF and colors, however I share Said's opinion regarding the blue chairs behind.

pridel (233) 2004-05-07 13:09

Bien evidemment j'aime aussi cette seconde photo. Le naturel du garçon est désarmant. Les chaises en plastique bleu font parties du décor, elles donnent du "punch" à la photo. Compliments.

i think it's nice colors but the boy is too centered. i think cropping slightly the right side or left would make for nicer composition.
