Sunrise, a photo from Er Rachidia, South

Photographer's Note

It's early morning in the desert of the great Erg, tourists who have stayed in the tents are ready to photograph the rising sun, but there is other to interesting.I was very impressed by this Bedouin boy who slept on the sand.

L'ALBA

E' mattino presto nel deserto del grande Erg,i turisti che hanno dormito nelle tende sono già pronti per fotografare il sole che sorge,ma non c'è solo quello di interessante.Questo ragazzo beduino che dormiva sulla sabbia mi ha colpito molto....

Bonjour Luciano
Un cliché d'une grande netteté. Tu as plus de chance que moi sur ce coup là car soir nous avions du quitter les lieux qui présentaient de l'insécurité.
Je te souhaite une bonne journée.

Ciao caro Luciano,

Hai fato qui un'orginale ritratto con i espressionni del ragazzo che dormi ben captati. Buona equilibrta anche. Gradisco molto il blu color ( un po coverto di sabbia) che sorgo molto ben e da un'bello cromatico contrasto.
Buona giornata,
Roger

Hi Luciano!
Very well seen, and beautifully done! There are some lovely complimentary colors here of blues, and tans with the sand, the blanket and the tent. But perhaps the tangle of black hair is the most fascinating, with beautiful skin tones to the boy's face. A very endearing photo! Warm regards,
Steve

Hello Luciano,
A most unusual candid image. The boy seems very comfortable under his blanket. The colours are lovely. A beautiful image that has been excellently produced.
Regards, Ann

Ciao Luciano!

Very moody portrait of the Bedouin boys. Fantastic light management with super tones of colors (blue of costumes, yellow blanket, sand and tent). Beautiful pose of sleeping boy with super skin tones to the boy's face and and his hairs.
Best regards

Ciao Luciano!
Very good picture of life. The image comes to mind many things. I was in Morocco, this image perfectly sums up what you see there. Of course, not the buildings I think.
Have a nice day.

Hi Luciano,
A fine and funny scene. I like the calm moment of the morning, hope you didn't bothered him.
Enjoy a beautiful weekend.

timecapturer (49288) 2011-10-07 5:54

Hi Luciano
a marvelous shot this - so evocative and yet sensitive too. Wonderfully sharp and colourful and such a great glimpse of Bedouin life. Well seen and taken.
Excellent and original work!

Have a great weekend - Brian.

Ciao Luciano, bella immagine di vita quotidiana, a volte molto meglio di scontati tramonti, apprezzo molto la favolosa nitidezza e i bei colori, forse avrei spostato un pò la copertina...certo rischiando un morso dal selvaggio beduino eheheh, un caro saluto, Valter

Hi Luciano.

Al primo sguardo ho pensato che fosse una donna. Mi son detta: "Mr. Criticone ha fotografato la sua amante...". Invece no...bello scatto rubato, Luciano! Ma vergognati almeno un po'! Non si fanno certe cose! Pensa se uno ti fotografasse mentre dormi! Saresti contento? Poi di sicuro russi e quello ci mette anche il sonoro...

Decak se umorio, san ga je savladao i ostao je da spava i ako je sunce vec izaslo, lepa fotografija.

Ciao.
Il ragazzo era stanco, il sonno lo vinse e rimase a dormire se il sole è già fuori, belle foto.
Buon tempismo e colpo gravità, bei colori.
Avere una notte tranquilla e un bel sogno.
Tutti i migliori.

E che foto! non ti sfugge proprio niente!
Istantanea colta al volo di intensa qualità e valore!
Bravissimo
Buona domenica

ciao caro amico

Hi Luciano,

Night on the desert is so mething incredible. I was on the desert near jaisalmer and we had no tents. In the night the camels came and look at us. And the sky with the star above - unforgettable experience. Nivce photo here of this young boy sleeping and his blue scarf near in sand.

Ola Luciano ,
Belo momento com este rapaz a dormir na areia , bons detalhes , boas cores, parabéns!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

nobuikehonda (3848) 2011-10-22 14:48

Ciao Luciano,

The first thing I noticed is the level of your POV, it is situated very low, almost at the level of this boy sleeping on the sand. Instead of looking down at him, you have come down to meet with this sleeping little gentleman. The way you observe the boy is very warm. That makes this image a heart warming one. Clarity of the image is first rate, and the colours are well saturated. Great DOF gives this image a three dimensional volume. It is a very successful image. I love the presented photo very much.

With my very best wishes,
Have nice and relaxing Sunday, Luciano
Nobu.

Nard (6972) 2011-10-25 10:46

Bonsoir Luciano
J'avais loupé celle ci que je trouve superbe aussi bien au niveau du sujet que de la réalisation. Le cadrage est bien vu avec ce focus sur la tête du personnage et le turban indigo à loitié enseveli dans le sable.

ikeharel (113345) 2019-09-15 3:40

No kidding, he slept on the sand, Luciano.
I can believe the dune sand is mushy and pleasent - so what's the difference...
A capture not similar to any, saluti.

Excellent reportage,
