Kid from Wung'a' village, East Sumba, NTT, Indonesia

Experimenting B/W conversion and playng with layers. Would you like to

comment the result? Thanks

Excellent tone and expression, well taken.

Well done, strong expression. But the treatment of the subject is a bit to cliche for me. Ah, what a poor child, with no context kind of thing.

Excelente, luz, y composicion de este bello retrato, saludos Carlo.

oh,what a sad boy. Great emotive portrait daer Carlo!

C'蠤a perdersi in questi occhi: tristemente immensi e luminosi. Intenso ritratto.

I converted this from your colour version and emailed it to you. a more traditional conversion but keeping those eyes with impact.

 

Your version here is striking but I think you went too far and lost detail in the hair when you did not need to. My opinion of course.

 

Did you focus on the eyes too much? Don't forget that white nose!

 

Poignant expression.

continuo a guardare il tuo reportage...bellissimo..beato te che ci sei stato da quelle parti... ma questa foto mi colpito + delle altre.. mi trasmette malinconia x quel bimbo..ottima foto nei suoi occhi vedo il riflesso del mondo in cui vive...bravo !! complimenti... anche il tono simil sepia

Thank you all, dear friends, for your kind comments! I must tell you that the kid wasn't unhappy at all; his village was nice and clean, he was well fed; he was a bit bored because his mother kept him in the hut instead of let him play with his friends!

Louis, I agree with you, the B/W in this version is a bit extreme. That morning I must have been strong impact oriented!
