Photographer’s Note

This is the son of of an East German farmer who emigrated to Paraguay 14 years ago.
I'm happy with how the shot turned out, but am undecided if my shadow makes it better or worse?

Very cute. Don't know how I feel about your shadow either. on TrekLens they might like it. Here people will probably complain. ;)

Nice POV and idea. JP

Hi MArk!

I did not know you were around here lately!
You should have contacted me, we could have gone photo hunting!
Next time consider emailing me before so we can meet.

Nice POV you chose, you have dealed greatly with our harsh light...coming from the strong paraguayan sun.

I like the way you cut his face in two with your shadow, keeping one eye clearer than the other.

A square format may have worked also here cropping more the top, but I guess your idea was to make evident the importance of your shadows.

Nice shot, keep on shooting and warning me if you will show around here!

:D

Great shot!
I've been viewing through your pics, really nice work. I also enjoy traveling alot and to photograph of course.

I've traveled in asia a couple of times so its really nice to see familiar environments captured so well.

A tip: Some of your pictures look a bit grainy, maybe cos of high iso or from sharpening. You can fix this by using a great tool called Neat Image. Just started using it myself.

Thanks for shaing good stuff and good luck in the future!

ps. The shadow is great in this one ds.
