Such a sad, empty expression captured so well - we take our lucky lives so much for granted, don't we? For me, the second boy is unnecessary and ruins an otherwise intense and evocative portrait.http://janpudney.net/ http://jaypea.redbubble.com/
Thankyou everyone for your comments, these particular boys seem nourished but were asking for money for bread. This photo was taken in Mozambique where it is obviously poor... when you cross the border from south africa you start to notice the lack of wildlife to photograph. I was told that it had all been eaten after the civil war when the people were desperate for food. Tourism however is bringing back money into the country and things are starting to look brighter... and stewart this photo makes me uncomfortable also..but the title was just as it is was
