Two of the boys in the water hole are the Konso king's sons, while the third one is their cousin (I don't know who is who here). The Konso are a small ethnic group that lives in south-western Ethiopia; there are around 5 000 of them. The area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
I took this shot a few years ago and was never 100% happy with it, so I spent some time reworking it this morning.

Re: Two Konso Princes
Interesting environmental shot, Manfred. When I opened this in Lytebox, it crops about 2/3rds off the foreground and lowers the top edge to just above the little green tree in the centre just above the wall. I think that still preserves the context and brings the boys and the wall's texture to the viewer's attention.
