Hello Antoni
A never-to-be-forgotten all brown photo. I like the blurred background and the way the boy is framed by his goat's tail. I wonder what he is thinking and what his life will be like. Tfs, Marlene

Nice picture, very beautiful composition, but the atmosphere makes this picture a little sad.

Hi Antoni,
Thanks for sharing this astonishing photo of a boy and his goats. The expression on his face illustrates all kinds of emotions and perhaps a lot of sadness. Excellent use of depth of field.

Wszelki duch! Nie było Cię chyba ze dwa lata...
Mocny przekaz, ciekawa kompozycja, spora dawka egzotyki in crudo.
Pozdrawiam.

Hello Antoni,

The composition is fine and the somewhat blurry background does a good job emphasizing the main subject.

Well done on this one.

Cheers

Hello Antoni,

Excellent portrait, I like the 'desaturated' look of this. Interesting background and perfect choice of format. This works (but I'd pick a different title, as the goats aren't that important in the picture, maybe they are in the boy's life, though...)

Thanks for sharing! Great shot!

Benny

I miss more light on his eyes, but the whole scene breathes 'reality'. wonderful!

Hi Antoni
First bravo for this one, much emotion in it and technical quality as well
Amazingly this is the first time that I come across one of your posts but I think that I'll go browse your gallery asap

Viewed 3202 times, and only few comments. Great colours, great composition, great light, great model. Just great photo! I would have lightened eyes a bit though. And I wonder if the aperture was really f8?
