Like this natural portrait shot. Take it the hat is to protect her from the sun. It looks so heavy though. Gives you a glimpse into another life style

For the most part I'm terrible at shooting people. I love seeing folks in their 'native' garb and at ease with themselves. Well framed, good focus, nice sharp color.

Comment from Regina E.H-Ariel
What a fantastic capture telling a tremendous story - she is over worked and need a rest
She is very confident in her environment knowing nobody would steal something - the way she is wearing her blanket on her head shows the culture and life style she belongs to - your frame shows the way she is sitting also an attribute to her daily life - her face shows the exhausting tiredness

You came along again t the perfect moment to create this image ,

perfect frame choice , super close up , fantastic expressive cultural and individual portrait image , great job, thanks for sharing

Fred,
A beautifully composed & lit picture of the elderly lady with her colourful "Head Gear / Turban" that must keep it very warm.. Taken with superb camera techniques with sharp focus.

Nice storytelling here.
Good color tones--I bet she has a lot of stories of her own to tell. Great focus and clarity. Nice lighting.

Great photograph, very nice colours, clear images showing in the ladies face. Her face expresses hard work. The coloured head scarf sure stands out. Thank you for sharing this image.
