Mariana Rivera, Boy in the field (May theme: Travel)

I took this picture while traveling around the Philippines. I was walking through the vast empty land trying to find the village when a small boy passed me by with his rooster over his shoulder. I asked him if he was going to a cock fight which are very common on saturday afternoons all along the country. He seemed to not understand and instead of an answer he began to head into the tall grass fields as if he wanted to disappear. I stood behind with my camera in my hand when the boy turned around and stared at me, that's the moment I shot.
