The colours of the background are a bit desaturated on purpose. This was shot during the riots and curfews of early April 2006, where the Nepali were not allowed to go onto the streets during most of the day.First I had cropped this image to just portray the boy, but then I found that showing and exaggerating the colourless and old background
It is great that you kept the colorless background. The composition is fantastic, including the hollowed out tree. I love this photo.
I like what you\'ve done with this photo. One of my favorites!
Also one of my favorite shot. It\'s one of the best portrait. He looks so proud and confident !
It appears to be Arlo Guthrie\'s, but I haven\'t managed to find the originating song.
Lovely portrait, superb toning!
