Dani man, Vallak valley, Baliem valley (Papua Barat, Indonesia)

This one is totaly awsome.

Sharp, Vivid, I felt like this person is inside my house - or I'm there in the jungle. Nice blur at the background (open apperture), and wide angle makes the main character look very alive, as stated above.

Definatelly 7/7.

cheers!!!

An exceptional facies and a great expression you brought back to us Carlo! excellent DoF too. PNG and Iryan Jaya are among the places I would like to go soon...

As for the critic, I find the highlights in the background a bit strong to appreciate the detail of the front subject, whom I would de-centerized too.

Here is a little visualization of my thoughts (I burned a bit the background, slightly lightened the face and body, cropped and toned in aged sepia (may be because I am in a photographic sepia mood recently!:o)...). Definition is bad as I compressed it too much...

PS: the other pictures in this folder are interesting documents too.
