2 Hungry kids (Best View Larger)

As seen in the Bac Ha maket, Sa Pa, North Vietnam

Beautiful capture my friend! Best regards, Catalin

Hi I liked this image.

 

I was wondering if you could pull down the yellow in the background as it is competing with the children. This would really make the children stand out.

Very dramatic .Excellent portrait.7/7.Best regards,Janusz.

My only suggestion would be to get rid of that bit of orange (sleeve?) to the left of the girl's head. Toning down the yellow in the background is a good suggestion, too, imo. I like the angle you shot this at.

very good capture..congrats.

Thanks guys, it was a street shot and the mother is on their left. I didn't want to clone off anything that's what I left it as it is but crop to clear as much distraction as possible. I think the look from both of them says it all.

Another natural portraits that let us have a glimpse of the people's life & culture.

Moving powerful images....such detail and color.... just lovely....

Touching image, I have seem this in my country a lot, but witout colors.

Perfect shot, Alec.

Stunningly beautiful capture, you are a very versatile photographer, Alec!!

 

Best regards!

Hunger knows no frontiers,Alec. Touching image.

Are these the same two boys you shot in the room, you know, that one John Falkenstone said was "manipulated"? Just curious.

No, these 2 kids are much smaller and shot in Bac Ha market. The other 2 kids with their Grandma is shot in Lao Chau village many miles away. Check it out again Enyinwa. John mentioned dodge and burn is manipulation so I guess a lot of digital images are manipulated. It's a thin line I think, as even analog darkroom technique dabbles with dodging and burning.

Beautiful capture. Congrats.

Alec, their expressions are priceless.

 

Were you able to gave them something to

nourish?... , sally
