Photographer’s Note
Portrat of a young boy as he stares at the visitors entering his small village. During my recent trip to Romania, I had the opportunity to do some humanitarian work with the Roma Gypsies living near the town of Dobresti. As my friends and I were entering the village, I noticed this young boy staring at us from behind a fence. He was curious about the people passing by his home because very few outsiders (non-gypsies) ever visit this small village.

Hi Matt,
This is a good portrait. I like the colour of the background wall, even if it goes a bit white on the left of the picture. The boy is centered, but the diagonal line of the fence does disrupt this a bit and makes the composition more interesting.

Hi Matt,
Terrific portrait, I am not sure why this photo has not received more points to be honest. The colour of the background contrasts perfectly to the colour of the boys skin. I really like the natural pose he is striking also. Thanks for sharing,
Jules
