Cuncani's Welcomer

As we walked down the side of the valley to the bottom, we could see

a bobbing red figure running down the other side of the valley. We

met at the bottom, and the little boy clutching a few stems of

flowers for us.

 

Any comments are welcome and appreciated. Thanks, Lucy

Interesting subject and great colors. Well done!

The frame you used slightly bothers me. It draws away the attention away from an excellent shot. I like the way how in addition to the character you also present her/its habitat. Beautiful lively and the sliding hills keep the attention focused on the kid. I like to think, interpret, that the expression on the face tells about the difficult life in the Andes. Great shot.

Excellent documentary!

Nice photo!

beautiful documentaion of environment! 6/6.

Go slightly brighter on the face, sharpen it a little more for the web and upload this a little larger. This is a real winner for me, I love the face, the expression, the hat. Great shot.

Hi Marc. Thanks for your thoughtful, contructive critique. I've sent my photos back home for safe keeping, so once I've left Peru (only a few more weeks, boo hoo!) I'll have another go at posting this.

I think the composition is good as the child is nicely surrounded by the mountains and framed with dynamism. The mountains emphasize the child and vice-versa. You managed the exposure really well with good contrast and color saturation. The subject itself is vastly interesting. Traditions around the world should be celebrated, and your photo does it. Regards.
