A sunrise portrait

I thought this was a unique juxtaposition of elements -- a man with his son with a Kalashnikov rifle. This is the Karo tribe of Ethiopia whose village is above a river, and this makes for a great environmental portrait. I used a 16-35mm lens for this shot set to the widest focal length. It is a five-frame HDR sequence taken at f/16 and 500 ISO. I hand held the shot, and Photoshop aligned all of the frames perfectly so there is no 'ghosting.' The golden tones of sunrise along with the relatively low contrast contributed to the success of this image. The camera-subject distance was about four feet. Using a wide angle lens close to the subject makes it disproportionately large compared to the background. I think this kind of look is very effective for certain types of portraiture.
