Silent moment, a photo from Medenine, South

Photographer's Note

One of the first and one of my favourite photos from my (sorry to say) short stay in Tunisia.
People there are very fond of spending time in the street (in front of their jard, or coffe shops, on the corners, simply lying down on the street) but do not like when someone's taking their photos without getting permission first. Their specific way of life is on the other hand total burst for my inspiration to take photos so imagine the tenssion inside of me. Every few meters another great shot but I didn't want to make them feel like some tourist attraction...
I like the feel of tunisian atmosphere.

Hi Veco.
Nice shot with a great note. The colors, detail, and lighting are really nice as well.

Hi Veco,
I really like this composition. I think the shadow actually adds to the composition. It adds to the mood of this man sitting there. Almost as if it is a metaphorical shadow laying on him.

I wonder what it would look like in B&W
