Hello Steven
A beautiful genuine smile. The dof is appropriate making an interesting composition - all from a destination which is not featured much on TE. Tfs, Marlene

Awesome job Steven, I use the same gear and can appreciate that you got the most out of it here. Beautifully framed, excellent technical quality, pleasant warm colors, and a beautiful model. I honestly was not aware that this lens would have such a shallow depth of field wide open.

Hi Steven, Very nice portrait. I love the contrast and DOF showing blurred images of other children at play. An excellent cheerful shot! Thanks for sharing...Alex

Hi Steven,
She is cute with a lovely smile and pose. Good use of dof to isolate her, and the focus is spot on where it needs to be.
Regards
Wanda

Hi Steven
A lovely portrait of a young girl, a little shy. Good management of the light, and of sharpness. I like also the boy blurred at the back who would be included in your shot.
Cheers

Dear Steve,
I am so happy for this photograph.Normally, this side of the world is always photographed on negative aspects of life - poverty, malnutrition, civil war victims, etc.etc.YOu have really brought out the positive side of this part of the world.

Excellent shot. Great face of the 'Third World'(sorry for using that word because of my poor geographical vocabulary).
Cheers,
Satyakki
