Salut Yan,

Il y a quelque chose de trčs fort dans cette photo, quelque part entre un commentaire éditorial et une réalité brutale.

J'ai bien lu ta note, mais si ce n'était pas le cas, j'aurais pu m'imaginer des enfants errants dans un lieu industriel ŕ l'abandon, un désert de béton. Il s'agit d'un portrait hors du commun, pour lequel le noir et blanc accentue l'aspect urbain.

Bon week-end!

André

Hello Yannis,

this one is a real eyecatcher.
Very well composed with the diagonal wall. The boy´s dark jersey is a good contrast. Furthermore his position at 2 thirds is perfect.

Hello Yannis. Curious boy. Another very interesting black and white photo. Skilful division of the image into different regions. Yes, Burkina Faso is also still on my white list.
Rgds, Wolfgang.

Hello Yannis,

The lower position makes the picture extra
exciting. Composition and light management
are good. The B&W makes the picture timeless.

Friendly regards,
Robert
