here is a good story to lift the image. The boy has a sad look, giving rise to many thoughts.
Kind regards
Soeren

Maybe because im a boxer to. But this picture say so much to me.
Dreams and visons that the boy have.
Nice

Koen Pieters Many boxers on the site lol... I may have to watch my tongue a bit in the future on here.
but I really like how you see the boy's dreams in this Guro. That comment alone made me wonder where and what he would be in 10/15 years from now. Thanks

I really like this image. Great documentary, great story. The light and the separation against the background is perfect. But the story makes the image. The small skinny boy, his expression, fists up and ready, the large opponent.
Great work Koen!
Personally I think this one outperforms 'les jeunes combattants'...

Koen Pieters thanks Thomas

I left both this one and 'les jeunes combattants', which got rejected big time a few days ago, now up in the critique section. Ironically, of both, I like the rejected one most. Some of you may want to take a look.

Like a movie picture ! Superb !

Koen Pieters really glad you see that movie-like feel Laurent. It's one of the things I liked about it. Always think it could be a still from Cidade de deus (except for the lack of color)
