This is absolutely fantastic! He looks like he's posing for a sculture to become a greek statue! This decisive moment capture was wonderful! I also like that you captured him not looking at the camera but engaging in something with some one off camera. It directs all the attention to this wonderful young boy. Great job!

Thanks Lori and KC KC I have just looked at your gallery. Looks like you had a good trip to Europe and made a good start to achieve your ambition. I particularly love teracotta and the gulls from the back of the boat. All lovely shots Kate

Thanks Kate! It's always a challenge as you know to find that one shot which catches peoples eye. I think you should put up other shots from this scene of the boy. I'm sure they are wonderful!

Thank you so much Don. I feel very flattered after having looked at your gallery. Though you only have four pictures in there in my view they are all prize winners. And many congratulations on your Desert Tree second place. I would absolutely love to go to Namibia to see all the awesome sandunes.

Hi Kate, I really love this spontaneous pose and the very pleasing colours and composition. I went to Kenya over ten years ago and saw Maasai boys like this, but I wasn't quite into photographing people at that time :o) I was focusing on the animals!

Thanks Yuan. So glad you stopped by. It prompted me to go back to your gallery to find another gem! The animals are what most people go for but if we forget the wonderful African people I doubt there will be many animals left for us to enjoy.

Had I seen this, or any of your other shots of Africa in National Geographic, I wouldn't have considered any out of place. Here's hoping I get to experience Africa some day, as well!

What a wonderful shot, Kate! What a sweet and graceful boy, yet he could handle that much cattles! Thought of National Geographic when I first saw it too! Great capture!

Sorry David I seem to have missed your comment but thank you and I too hope you get to experience Africa. Thank you Pu for visiting my gallery. Yes it is amazing the responsibility the Maasai kids have at a very young age. Thanks again Mary!
