"Profound"
Copyright ©2012, Ramon Nayar $
Another child from the Hope for Life: Kenya mission trip segment. I had to fight my own tears capturing this image. Oddly enough, this child has a damaged tear duct, so no matter what emotion he may actually be feeling, he simply can't control the tears of his left eye from falling every now and then. Not pictured, his laugh that can light up the darkest of days... I chose B&W for this image to place emphasis on his expression above all else. The way he was holding onto that wooden post was symbolic of how all of the children in this seem to be unconditionally holding onto their faith. I will be looking to enter my 1st district photo competition with this image.

Spectacular and sensational, Ramon! An interesting story also. I enjoy every details on this image. Your B/W conversion may be a little bit too much for my taste, but that suite the image and the story very well.
I wish you a huge success for the mentioned photo competition; this is a 'killer' image for sure!
