So where was this taken?
My Comment:
Superb portrait of this young African boy chewing on a piece of sugar cane. I am almost sure this was taken somewhere in Natal, South Africa. On the south Coast there, maybe around Illovo or Issipingo.
Of course the worlds largest producers of sugar cane are Brazil and India so this shot could just as well have been taken in Brazil somewhere as they also have a large African population.7
