Kogi Indian Children, a photo from Magdalena, North

Photographer's Note

These are 2 Children from the Kogi Tribe that live in the Nevado de Santa Marta. The Highest Peak in Colombia. We met them on the way to Ciuda Perdida. An Ancient City and burial site, discovered less than 30 years ago (by white men. The Indians knew about it all along but kept it secret!).
It's an amazing 6 day trek to go and come back. On the way there we passed an indian hut and no one came out, we kept walking and i heard smiles so i turned around and saw these kids smiling in between the wood that made their hut, I pointed at my camera and they allowed me to take photos of them. I like this one a lot.

I like the idea of this shot but somehow it doesn't make it for me - sorry. I think maybe because the colours are all so similar - did you try it is black and white? I think that could be nice. Will try a workshop to adjust the colours

Hi Oshry:

What a great shot, u really got the expression in those children well captured.
But I´m strongly agree with "thebecky", u should change this color format to BW format.

I did a WS for u, but unfortunately I can´t post today, but I will do it tomorrow.

hugs
