A group of boys watching a dance ceremony in their village

Hal Schneider (San Diego, CA)
Photographed November 2006, near Bobo Dioulasso, Burkina Faso

Masked dancers greeted Schneider's tour group on a visit to the village of Boni, well off the beaten track in West Africa's Burkina Faso, but he was drawn to a group of watchful boys instead. "I wanted to capture that look of curiosity of these kids," says Schneider. — Abigail Tucker

Captivating image of these 4 people. The skin tones are great, their expressions are beautiful. Thanks for share this great image.

As a fellow photographer, I commend you because this is a very rich, shot, filled with a great color scheme, and great lighting.
