Parade der Kulturen: Madagascar

I want to show that I am not partial to women, so here a photo of a drummer boy from Madagascar:


Here the partially desaturated version (which I think is my favourite):


In sepia:


and black and white:


Which one do you like best after all?

    This is a great shot. Milder light would have helped but what can you do! The hat, the drum, the coat, the skin, the smile..... Perfect :-)

    Thank you, I value the appreciation, especially as it is coming from a serious critique like you :-)
    Unfortunately, there was nothing I could do about the light since the parade took place on the brightest midday you can imagine

    You know I was thinking about this. Can you perhaps try a black and white and a sepia shot of this? Just 2 fade that coloured T shirt behind away. or maybe the current picture will eventually look the best because its essentially monochrome framed by colour on either side. There is no room to crop.

    I will try b/w and sepia and just now had the idea of desaturating just yellow in the picture which would fade away both yellow t-shirts on either side. It'd concern two stripes on the drum as well but I will give it a try just to see.

    I think the black and white - no distractions just the subject and his awesome skin and the high wattage carefree smile :-) Great shot. Congratulations once again and Thank you for all the effort.
