greens are good for you Photo

Photographer’s Note

I am posting this for two reasons. The first --Henk's (oochapan) post of today inspired me. And two, this morning I have just been in the attic and shaken out by backpack which has been gathering dust for almost a year.........next Friday 24th I fly to Phnom Penh, so time to have a quick glance through last years photos.
This was taken in the market at Kratie, (one of the only places that I will be revisiting). The market was so alive, the women sellers so warm and friendly.
I have few shots of the women which I have printed and will be taking with me, just in case they are still there with their veggies and baskets. If they are I am sure that I will get a big smile when they see themselves.

Hello Elaine
nice portrait, i like her smile, very funny ... i like the way you place her in the compo, good foreground, the background is a little overexposed on right side, but it's nothing.
a well balanced compo.
Regards, hugues

I am agree with the title ;o)...green is very good. Her mouth seems to be empty, so funny expression. Very nice catch Elaine, I like these typical markets.
