    I felt like editing this a bit more than the other photos from our trip. I wanted to get a more cinematic feel. Something a little different..

    Ferme tonen en compositie met die >< shape vh beeld. Nice met die verborgen ogen ook, je moet ze echt expliciet gaan opzoeken. Knap werk!

    That picture is perfect to me. I simply love the contrast between the half smile and those scary eyes. I feel ambiguity in that guy, from being a simple field worker to being a team leader or even a fighter. You did manage to give a very strong photographic feel to that picture. I like the colour processing which adds an unreal aspect to the skin and the background. Sharpness is just awesome, bringing out so many details in the skin.
