Rafi of Ras Al Khaimah - UAE - Leica M9-P

            We recently took a short vacation up the coast of the UAE to a small emirate called Ras Al Khaimah. The main city itself is basically a large industrial zone but there are actually lots of nice hotel propertiies in the area. We stayed at one which was well into the desert. Rafi, my younger son, was playing on the bed, and there was this wooden, lattice-work frame in traditional Arabic geometric patterns between us. I loved the way the light bouncing off the desert dunes outside flooded in and curled around Rafi's face, which was nicely framed by the lattice work. I asked him to hold still and took this with my Leica M9-P. Rangefinder focusing in back-lit situations can be troublesome but I seem to have got this one ok.
