People Old Man on Highland

Old Man on Highland · **25 Likes**

The Red-earth highland is a photogenic place at Dongchuan, Yunnan, China. The old man and his friend were lit by the sunlight that shone and disappeared instantly because of the fast moving clouds on the highland.
Thanks for looking!

The old guy is a very interesting subject for a portrait. And he has a great looking dog.

Good composition and very natural colours. Very nice photo.

Well done. The picture looks like it is out of an older National Geographic magazine.

Thank you for stopping by, Susan. The 1.8 aperture helps for the separation, I think.
Regards!

Truly an amazing shot. I keep seeing it in the forums and going back to look at it again. It draws your mind to the scene as well as your eyes.

Thanks for your comment, my friend! I agree, he has everything characteristic for living on a highland, e.g., his dark red skin color, leather hat, waistcoat of goat skin, pipe, and of course, his dog with a copper bell.
Regards!

Dear friend, it's very kind of you for such a high praise. Thanks a lot!
The dry, windy, cold and harsh living conditions on the plateau have brought about the special features of the old man, I think. We believe that human beings are shaped by the land around them.
Regards!

Fantastic portrait. I get the sense of a lot of wisdom and experience coming through.
