Tisoy

This Ilonggo kid is not 100% Ilonggo. He is of mixed blood. I asked his friends. They said he's half Filipino, half Indian.

Tisoy is a slang word for "mestizo", someone of mixed blood.

The blue tint aroundis the reflection of the sack used as a roof. I could have adjusted it down in saturation but I prefer it this way. What do you think?

Stunning! As if you have opened a box of colours... and thrown them in a portrait. Subliminal!!!

I like this a lot. The choice of crop is perfect, once again adding a lot to the feeling of the picture - bery up close and personal. The pose is wonderful. Personally, the blue tint works well. The other colours are rich so the image does not look cold and given you have so many great portraits in your portfolio, I think it's great to throw in a few different things to keep it varied (not that it wasn't already - but you know what I mean). Best rgds, Lawrence
