Sons of Congo River

i marched along the banks of Congo river with my guide in light drizzle.

these young men seated on a rock were surprised by my sudden and

very spontaneous clicking of shutter. comments/ critique/ remarks

welcome!

Poignant portrait of three comrades. Their sad faces makes me sad,Umair Bhai.

Dear Umair, this is the greatest surprise for me to see your photos from the Congo River. Und they must be surprised to see a man from Pakistan without beard ;-). They are posing. Sad? I do not think so. A smiling face would spoil the portrait (for them). Karl

A strong & emotional portrait that let have people feel a glimpse of their hard life from their serious & smileless face.

Very nice portrait indeed!

Truely captured ,regards.For Carls I think person like Umair can be anywhere in the globe .

A poignant and touching image. The expresions are revealing of a people whose destiny is uncertain at this time. How to compete with a world that is in such contradiction with the inbred traditions of the past ...

They are there and let us hope wont perish. The faces are so sad. Regards.

Beautiful soft light. Excellent portrait photography.

Beautiful Umair, berst regards...

excellent group portrait with different expressions

Beautiful shot Umair,the sort I really like,I like the composition and their look.

Superb.
