this is quite a strange shot. the framing is unusual and it looks like you've heavily edited this shot in post processing.

i like the idea behind your shot tristan. the b&w works really well for me. i think the shot is good. well done.

HOWEVER, there's no photographer's note. this is a big problem because the note is just as important as the photograph in helping us understand your shot, your motives for shooting and what it all means.

remember TE's mantra: learning through photography.

Encore une photo magnifique Tristan!
Superbe composition avec cet enfant (dommage qu'on arrive pas a voir ses yeux) et les autres enfants dans un flou tres beau fantomatique!
Merci, Alain -

hi...
what a haunting shot! the bright black and white works extremely well, and composition quite fascinating. the grains get in the way though. but it's a very remarkable photograph anyway:)

Hello Tristan,

This B/W is really excellent. Like something directly from the magnum pages. The contrast is great and so the context of the picture with the 5 children in the back. This is really great man.

Very symbolic picture.
Overexposure at backside thinning those childrens foots and arms, its makes better picture in this case.
Also "Boston" text put to think this picture more.
Very good, thanks Tristan.

scary, those in the back look like from concentration camp. I like compo, quality is bit poor however, maybe its the grain///

Très joli portrait, surtout réhaussé par le groupe du fond.. le flou leur donne une impression de vision fugitive, quelque chose qui s'en va. Composition de type "1 vs. groupe" que j'aime beaucoup et que j'emploie relativement souvent.

Peut être un peu plus de matière nécessaire dans la sable... pas super convaincu par le scan en revanche.

Bonjour Tristan,
une photo magnifique mais très dure, j'aime beaucoup toute votre série sur cette île...
Je crois que ces deux mots résument bien vos photos: beauté et souffrance.
Bonne journée
Philippe

This photo makes me cry: if cropped the upper part and letf only the boy...it would have been like an existing alive Jesus Christ... while the whole photo (and, Tristan, you did it good not cropping!) shows that so many children are cruelly in danger of being like jesus Christ...today!!!!.....and there are so many... even in the European Rich and Blind Union.... this is your 2nd pic in my favourite. + Rocco
