"Nice and striking portrait with the subject looking at the camera and a simple and beautifully textured background. Well-composed and the green and red colours, being complimentary work really well and help the overall composition. Well done." - Ignacio Palacios
"I like the narrative of this image and the soft nice bokeh. The light is also very beautiful and when I saw this image instantly reminded me of some shots I have seen from Steve McCurry." - Ignacio Palacios
"This is a beautiful, candid and simple image of some kids playing/hunting in Namibia. Perhaps cropping the image from the top would have made the composition simpler. And cropping a little from the left as well as the group is looking to the right and they need a bit more room there. Overall a great image and well seen." - Ignacio Palacios
