Description

I took this photo a few weeks ago, in Burundi, while on an escort mission to a UN inspection team. The UN personnel were inspecting a school that money had been donated to in order to update the infrastructure, & the students put on a drumming and dancing demonstration for them.

The camera used is a Canon EOS 20D, with a EF 55-200mm II lens, and the only editing done is colour correction & a crop, through Photoshop

Thank you for the comments :)
Strangely enough, the image isn't displaying properly, & there's a large piece cut off on the right hand side of the frame for some reason......

To Oldskool - from what I gather, the costume the students were wearing is one they'd designed for the drumming team, & the other kids were wearing normal clothes the day we were there.

To Audentia - I'm a South African soldier actually, but deployed as part of the the UN mission in Burundi at the moment .

Thank you everyone for the comments, they're greatly appreciated
I've fixed the image now - I had made a mistake when resizing the origional it seems lol - and it appears to display properly now.

I'm a little limited in terms of net access right now, but I'll be adding more images whenever I have chance.
To Madanapale : I'll go back through my previous submissions & fix them as soon as possible, & thanks for letting me know there was a problem.

Regards,

Ian.

Beautiful image! The vivdness of the colors and the energy in the image is poreing out of the image. I can hardly wait for more posts.

Hm, dark men like that are so handsome... :)
Anyway, this pic too is very clear with clean details. Maybe you should have kept more space between the guy's head and the top edge of the pic?
