[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Red Checkered Girl lived in a red and checkered environment, wearing red checkered clothes...

Since the first time I photographied her in her red and checkered place, each time we passed through her arcades, she would smile the same way like this.

Check the EXIF and note that my three last Ilha de Moçambique uploads were taken within 3 minutes... It might give you a better idea about what Stonetown in Ilha actually looks like.

Allô Luko!
Merveilleuse prise de vue de cette jolie fille au magnifique sourire. La composition est excellent et j'aime beaucoup les couleurs des vêtements de la jeune fille qui s'harmonisent bien avec le mur défraichi.
Salutations!...

Superb color and light. Critical focus on the eye is excellent. Love her posture and smile. The gentle fade of the background into thick darkness, and the detail on the wall and her dusty feet are visual feasts. Marvelous photo! A favorite.

Bonjour,
Superbe photo, dont j'adore les couleurs. La fillette a certes un sourire lumineux magnifiquement capté, mais en plus ces murs et ce sol sont un bonheur visuel. Avec un angle de vue qui donne une profondeur dynamique. J'aime.

Top notch "color" photography, Luko, all in earh tones, ochres, oranges and browns. Nice to see you working the vertical format again...

Hi Luko,
lovely portrait with impressive atmosphere. I like smiley face and your composition. greetings from Istanbul

....the most beautiful thing here is the background lighting (on the wall). The color of the wall at right seems too harsh. Girls face is not sharp(backfocus?)....though, she is lovely.
IMHO :-)

Luko does Africa :-) Hurrah!
Her bright smile and bright red shirt contrast beautifully with the dark hallway. I love the amount of patterns in this photo. The floor, her skirt, her shirt, the wall, the wood door all have a different pattern. The warm tones fit her warm smile. Great shot.
Regards,
Ryan

Hello, Luko,
this is wonderful. The eyes are drawn to that face and bright smile like a magnet. I love the warm colors and all the small details and the way she is kind of glancing over her shoulder. Great shot!! Kind regrads,
Shelly

Great exposure Luko! It's perfect. Her skin is so lively, so brilliantly recorded. Sorry about all this awe, but it's very difficult to see a dark skin so gorgeously recorded. The rest of the photo is cool, compo could be better I think - as it doesn't appeal me that much - but the colors are super. I love her expression. One more for my theme.

salut Luko,
Ce qui marche ici (et c'est sans doute ce qui a attiré dans cette photo) c'est la tonalité 'camaieu'. Son sourire tout en forme arrondie ressort merveilleusement bien des différents motifs 'pointus' et angle. Jolie portrait !

Note: bravo pour la stabilité du bras à 1/25, moi à cette vitesse je fais copain-copain avec Parkinson ;o) !

Alain -

Great followup Luko, with the same kind of thoughts as the previous one evokes, a colourful and smiling girl surrounded by buildings which indicate the opposite.

The way you've framed this is a little awkward for me, as if she should either be in the middle or the far left, but shes stuck in no mans land instead...but at the same time not sure what else you could have done.

Hi Luko, PERFECT SHARPNESS and BALANCED COLOURS in this image!
the orange is everwhere...
i love the old texture of the wall...a sign of the time...
the composition is beatiful, with the perspective of the pavement..
the light superb..
and...the smile of this little girl...so strong her expression..
in my fav theme.
ciao!
Valeria

Its the background you have chosen wonderfully. The expression of the girl is very interesting. Captured at the perfect moment.
Regards.
