She has a lovely face but her real beauty is shining out from those eyes and that sweet smile. Great capture Cleo, lighting is warm and pretty. Great angle for this. Best of luck ;)

Initial Impact: They say you can see into the soul of a person through the eyes. She is a warm person at heart for sure. Lighting: is good. Grand ma ma presentation: Color harmony: is very good.
Center of interest: Is the lady. Cropping: I personally would have had the extra room on her right side. But that is a personal preference. Focus: is very sharp. Action: Nothing. Depth of field: is blurring out the ground behind here. This helps keep the eyes on her. Story telling is in the Title and Artist's notes:.
Comments: Good composition.

Thank you for your encouraging review. I had to crop. It was shot on one of our jungle trips with a caritative organisation. It always gets crowded when we arrive. As usually on those occasions somebody walked into the picture. These photos are never ideal but for me the most valuable because of the stories they tell.

You are welcome. You might learn how to clone things out of your shot.

Oh I know how to clone things out. If you have a look at my Mixed Medias you will see. I actually Have a cloned version of the picture but there are two reasons that I didn't posted it. !- It just doesn't look good. I not only cut on the right but on both sides and below. I could not get the ladies head fully from my position. I am only 5ft and had to use quite a bit of zoom through the crowed. So the original looks a kind of funny to me even more without the persons on the right [as you see it's cut of above].
2- Even if I doesn't do it always I prefer the old fashion way for journalistic photos [without the use of Mixed Media tools].

Very good composition with a wonderful centre of interest. The focus is crisp and sharp with a good dof. Excellent lighting with good colour it has a good initial impact and you have presented it well.
