More than Thousand Words (formatted for larger version)

The large bridge over the Yarkhun river collapsed some months ago.

The locals just finished building a temporary bridge. Now they hope

to get some donation. Who could resist? Thanks for your feedback.

Outstanding portrait. Even though his facial expression feels more like he himself had blown the bridge and is happy because of it, this is such a joyful image. The surrounding mountains and the bridge, approprietely out of focus, form a great background for your image. I am very much impressed. Very good capture, indeed.

Originality! (...he made my day :-))

Great shot!

What a beautiful person! I love his wrinkles and would paid him just for his smile.

Exceptional portrait, Karl. The story about the bridge makes it even more interesting. I appreciate it when travel photographers take the time to provide a context for their photos - if its helpful. (oops, system won't let me give you a 7 for now, even though this deserves one.)

Perfecto retrato, gran encuadre, luz y color, belleza de composicion, saludos cordiales Karl.

Honestly, I dont know much of photography.

But all I know is that this man smiles from his heart.

Never mind his hardships, there is some peace within him that reaches out and touches others.. spontaneously.

God, let there be more of such smiles ... on all of us.

 

Thanks Karl..
