A simple portarit ,fugitive expression of pride and anguish.

But this same faces can be seen, now,in Darfour,for example.
History,is a perpetual renewal.

Bonjour Patrick!
Magnifique portrait, très profond...Son regard et son expression sont vraiment intenses et touchantes. Côté photo, excellente netteté (et dire que l'image est scannée!!) et bonne harmonie des tons qui met en valeur ce sublime visage. Photo vraiment admirable qui invite à la pensée et à la réflexion...en particulier sur le sort d'un continent et de ses peuples victimes du cours de l'Histoire, éternel recommencement depuis les 50 dernières années.

Hi Patrick,
Although it's not your latest, I couldn't resist this stunning and heart wrenching portrait. The framing is perfect with the light falling across her face, her eyes the window to her soul, the tension in her shoulders, and the careful grooming. The excellent DOF, spot-on focus and light management give exquisite detail.
Regards, Pat

Hello Patrick,
très beau portrait, tu as bien su capter la tristesse de ses yeux.
Très bonne note, tout est dit.
a+

This I prefer Patrick, reholded contrasts to show all details in this portrait, and she got a nice pose, a good shot with perfect DOF on the background.

Hola Howe...a very "moving" portrait...Great expression but Very worried & sad. Excellent work with B&W.
Saludos, Robert

Bonsoir patrick
J'ai lu ton commentaire sur ton dernier post au Honduras. Ton histoire est passionnante.
Sur le plan purement esthétique, c'est cette image que je trouve splendide. Le visage est très expressif. la lumière est bien gérée.
Bravo
Bertrand

Hi Patrick

Great b&w! Great documentary shot.

Un merveilleux portrait avec un bokeh qui ne vient rien perturber; cette expression est sans prix.
Bonne journée

Toute l'expression de la beauté et de la tristesse dans ce portrait. Le Tchad... un pays que j'aime et qui mérite qu'on s'y attarde.
Merci pour tes belles photos.
Patrick
