Title: Hardship


ruzaini32 - November 3, 2008 03:19 PM (GMT)
Took in langkawi with olympus e-300.
This little boy is just a few years old. His father is serving his customers. Just a small shop serving drinks and some kueh.
He ask his son to help him to open, i think its coconut. So the boy went to take the hammer and open it.

Dad "hit harder son"
son keep hitting slowly and it opens
Dad "clever boy"

I was there witnessing the hardship of those people had and it is very emotional to see this kind people having difficulties to survive there without money and stuff yet their love between the families is very strong.

PS. i'm not good with words =D

I like the mood of this photo. With a little eye contact, it'd be perfect. Either that or go lower and shoot at the same level with the boy.

Good job...

But I felt that your water mark is at the wrong place, the reflection of the boy is oso part of the pix...IMHO of course...

Hi Ruzaini,

I like the expression!

From my point of view, probably it is good too if capture the action of the father.
Just my 2 cents opinion :)
