Nice portrait.

Wonderful portrait capture of this young lady, great expresion captured here and with very impressive contrast and tone

 

Wishing you all of the best my friend

Unfortunately in my own country where there is a lot of talk of 2020

vision for first world status and billions of dollars in oil revenue

yearly this little boy lives without very basic commodities such as

pipe borne water and electricity. His family sells fruits and ground

provisions from a makeshift stall on the side of the road for a living

and they depend on a water truck once a week for their water supply. I

thought to myself that I can surely make a difference and give him

some hope for a future. I am looking to see how I can do that now...in

the meantime though he is looking at me with hope in his eyes.

Excellent..!

Good photo. Hope is good, though it is very difficult these days :/

You can almost see the fear and concern in the eyes and hands. we should always hope no matter how good or bad things are or seem to be. To lose hope it seems to me is to give up, and no one should do that.

Great capture!

Thank you all for your kind comments. I know this is an area of concern in many parts of the world. Abuse of resources and public funds for selfish motives and personal gains seem to be rampant and often unchallenged.

Very good shot and mood. Congrats!

Great image, Kenrick. Not sure I see hope in the expression, more apprehension if I had to guess. Eyes are particularly strong.

Wooow.... i see the hopeful expression ... good shot!! best Regards

A story beautifully told both visually and in words. The issues you discussed are near and dear to my own heart. This portrait is exceptional.

Its very beautiful Kenrick,i like this photo a lot.

Thanks Ellen. Your comments are very much appreciated.

Your description of this image as heart breaking as it is highlights a very sensitive issue that seems to be an epidemic amongst so many third world countries. Children often have to pay the highest price and there seems to be not enough advocacies on their behalf.

Hello Kenrick . Beautiful girl and fantastic her pose . Dan .
