Tomorrow's leaders

I was struck by the raw look of this student marching. Even though he

realised I was pointing the camera at him he is unnerved. Just

concentrating on the march and thoughts in his head. Did I succeed in

capturing the moment?

YOU CERTAINLY DID.

 

KATE C. 6/6

I am sure the student knows the difference between a camera and a gun.

 

Just teasing Alec. A good catch!

Thanks David, Kathryn, just love the way the sweaty droplets sparkle on his face. There are also some goose pimples on his dark colored neck. Taken at 270mm the Sigma 50-500mm digital lens sure did it's job well.

The lens sure did a good job!It got a beautiful depth .

Absolutely! Beautiful image for capturing the nonchalant attitude of the boys and loud & clear caption. Morning shows the day?

Quite a look. Nice rendition of facial expressions.

Very good capure Alec!

Nice shot, Great dof, expressions and lighting.

impressive...! Excellent capture! 7/6

Alec - for me, this is a world-class shot. He is aware of what's going on around him, he has to be to do his work, but the level of concentration...you just know he's going to be exhausted when it's over. Excellent shot.

My sincere appreciation guys for commenting positively on this image. In a way, I was a little apprehensive in posting it especially after the horrendous terrorist incident in Bali recently.

 

I'm so glad that this image is not viewed in a negative aspect. The student may appear determined and strong and I believe every country and religion strives to maintain peace and harmony towards everyone.

So be it.

Alec, it was taken in Indonesia. Interesting expression. It was taken in a country that was struck by terrible terror acts,I hope it is compatible determined look to lead for peace, good image. Pnina

Sircar, Pnina, thanks for the mention. Attached is another student which is a gentler version. Enjoy.

controlled depth, composition (diagonal) and light, does not require any artificial work

 

just your camera and your idea.

 

 

I think this is a very powerful capture, with perfect composition and dof. Simply great, Alec!
