THE LITTLE MAGICIAN

Thank you for your comments.

Excelent done, like a painting!

Thank you Gustavo, I forget to comment some details of this pic. Scanned from a 35 mm film, unmanipulated, just cropped, this effect is an accident, it's the result of an underexposed ISO 400, shot taken at more or less 7:30 pm in winter, just twilight and a bit of the street lights at Cusco. This little boy was singing for coins in a large galley beside the main square with an extremely sweet and tiny voice. I guess he was 5 y.o. at all. He put a spell on me. So, The Little Magician.

Ups! As I can see the "3/3 Gnome" is working extra time today... I'm so sad because he has a numbers keyboard only... so never criticize a pic with words. Well, next time for sure.

PN won't allow me to rate, due to the "new & improved" system. Awesome capture, Carlos. The image tells much of the world you come from. Best Regards, d.d.

Excellent, simply extraordinary.

This is a beautiful gem of a photo. I love it. There is a timelessness to it that cannot be found in most photos. Just fabulous!

pobrecito..the grain helps a lot for the feeling in the photo. He looks like a little doll, just about to turn his head any minute. VERY VIDID photo

Preciosa, tierna, triste, magica. Me encanta, este chiquillo, habla mil cosas en un silencio eterno. Felicitaciones!

The most telling feature is the small hand. The image portrays starkness and the sometimes unforgiving nature of life. But there is camaraderie is poverty, a trait we often forget as we rise through life.

Wonderful capture.
