Beautiful colors in this portrait of a villager, they
are sharp and the contrast pops on my screen. The
shadow of her face you could easily brighten that,
if need being. But her attire trying to show all the
bracelets adds even more significance.

Beautiful! You captured her perfectly. The contrast between her expression being almost girlish and the outfit being so regal is a great one. The colors are fantastic and your clarity impressive!

A outstanding good photo,very impressed of your techniqe.
And see the out put so unussual, both sharp and with a
membrance of something golden.
With the womans natural beautiful colors and the golden touch its
something extra.

Amazing capture! Very vivid, well framed flamboyant colours and well positioned. Two thumbs up on this one. I look forward to seeing more of this type of work here.

---loaded with a story of their tradition and life. Beautiful rendition and presentation. She does look so innocent and lost in what she is doing. Of course their mindsets are not like those of the western world, shaded with tons of ego. this is a great picture, and a rare shot, I am sure. good job!!

Comment from Papa


soliman, this is a very colourful and enjoyable photograph. I feel, however, that the full potential was missed because the image is slightly out of focus and somewhat over exposed. As well, one is unable to see enough detail of the face. Finally, the subject appears to be too tight up against the background.
Nevertheless, still a fine effort.
Peace, Papa
