[WJT]

you've captured the mood of the boy nicely here Antonio, and again well composed with the right exposure.

[Shadowman]

Very nice, we don't know whether he is sad, tired, inquisitive.

[Hansm]

Very good picture Antonio.
Black and White gives it the finishing touch.

The little story behind the photo

We were visiting a temple under very harsh light that day as it was 13h.
When we stopped for a while contemplating the monuments we saw a small group of children under the shadows seated on stairs. My wife likes to take pictures of children and so she did.
I too advantage to the moment and made some photographs.
We can see the young man up in the middle at the far back behind the one which we see the face.

you've captured the mood of the boy nicely here Antonio, and again well composed with the right exposure.

Thank you Wayne. In these circumstances I use Aperture priority to save time

Very nice, we don't know whether he is sad, tired, inquisitive.

Yes John we do not know. Perhaps he was just annoyed spending some time in the shadow with his companions.
I think they were not very aware of my presence.

Very good picture Antonio.
Black and White gives it the finishing touch.

Thank you Hans B&W "strikes" a different impact on photographs

[Daisy Mae]
