Pictured here is a young Bajau boy photographed by Hesham Alhumaid. This photo was taken using a Canon 5D MarkII and 24-70mm lens:

What’s so captivating about this image is the colors and perspective. The aerial-esqe angle allows the brilliant blue water to fill the frame and complement the yellow and browns in the image. The boy’s pose and facial expression also convey a kind of relaxed eagerness, as if he’s patiently waiting to take a trip out to sea.
