Gnats

I photographed this boy at an orphanage in Les Cayes, Haiti and truthfully did not notice the gnats on his face until I was editing it. It saddened me, but I realized this is part of his life and it is part of this photograph. It includes his world as it really is and conveys that across to the viewer.

Photoburst is a photo of the day contest focusing on Travel Photography.

Everyday (from the 1st until the 28th), among all images uploaded by our contributors, we publish a photo of the day (POTD).
Every week (on the 8th, 15th, 22nd and 29th), among all POTDs of the preceding week, we select a photo of the week (POTW).
On the 30th we select the best POTW as photo of the month (POTM).

The author of the POTM receives:
a US$50 gift certificate to Kiva + (in even-numbered months only) an invitation to be Photoburst's guest editor in the following month!
