Her smile is captivating. This is a beautiful portrait in native environment. The photo is well focused and sharp. The tight tall framing seems perfect. The Otjitze Past mixture seems very successful. The Woman and her baby seem to have perfect skin. I haven't found anything which protect against insect bites without causing allergies.

It looks like that cosmetic mixture protects the skin well, it looks soft and well cared for. I like how healthy they both appear and that smile is great. The plaits are interesting too.
