Two for a dollar, a photo from Siem Reab, West

Photographer's Note

I met this little boy at Angkor. The shot was taken dring sunset.

I tried to talk to a lot of the children that you see there. A lot will tell you that they go to school in the morning and then come to Angkor in the afternoon to work, ie to sell souvenirs to tourists.

This little boy was younger than most and he didn't go to school yet. But he wasn't shy and was quite happy to sit with me for 15 minutes or so.

Nice expression of the boy very well captured.
Technically, 2 details are disturbing my reading :
1 - the left foot which is cut
2 - the hole is the upper left corner which is catching my eye. if is was me, i would try to make it a least the same color as the wall.
Regards. Christian

Parabens for the photo of the boy. The story erriquece sufficiently the compreenção of the image. Also it gave to relembrar a little of the reality of Brazil. Good service. The Gregorio.

Hello Barbara,

very powerful composition, its sort of nice to hear that the kids actually go to school, in some parts of the world, they dont even have that option.

I really like the PoV and the way you have filled the frame up with the kid. The photo would have benifited greatly from slightly bigger size and a little bit blown out top left corner.

Excellent shot still.

Regards
Kamran
