Isn’t a bit strange that your captions describe the women in the images using adjectives such as “beautiful/young/pretty” but as per the man you write in a straight forward manner, like “boy sitting/relaxing in the Dead Sea/with the owner”.
ReplyDeleteWhy couldn’t it be for example “young boy/handsome man as his cute dog standing with back legs to ‘read’ newspaper”.
Doesn’t it sound weird using adjectives to describe a picture with a man in it? But natural when it’s a woman.
Just an observation… great curation by the way.
