Photographer's Note
I had just gotten done riding an elephant through the jungle, and floating down a river on a bamboo raft that looked anything but sturdy enough to hold him and I plus all of my very nice, new, and expensive camera equipment! I made my friend swear that the raft wouldn't tip over and with a weary sigh and carefully seated myself in the middle and what I thought to be the safest place for me to sit.
Once we arrived at our destination, I left my friend to talk with the natives as I wandered around the area. That's where I found this little boy sitting on the porch of this house. The house was raised about one and a half meters off the ground to allow for the river to rise and not damage the house.
I took about eight shots of him, and all the while he just looked at me curiously, probably wondering what I had in my hand and why I was pointing at him. In one of the other pictures he actually smiled/laughed but because of my shutter speed it came out a bit blurry.
He was so adorable, it was such a pleasure to shoot him in his environment. I hope you enjoy the picture!

Hi Lissa,
Very nice dreamy portrait. The light in the background in the leaves is very curious, but adds to the strong effect of the picture. I think your perspective and distance is very good for this pic.
Regards,
Henrik.

A fine portrait, soft but with clear contact. The natural framing is fine. I can feel you struggling with the ambient light.

Hi Lissa,
a wonderful shot of this shy boy! I really like the contrast between light and dark and the way you framed it. Great work!
