Khmer Girl 4 Photo

Photographer’s Note

This picture was taken on my trip to Oudong temple in Kandal province. I saw several children were playing on the top of the maountain. They were palying happily. This little girl was also part of the play. She was looking around before she started playing. I am not sure what the game was about...but they were about running to get to somewhere to get something...

Hi Sothy,
Very good portrait. The faded back ground and the exspression on the face adds charm to this photo.

Sues'day Sothy,

For the colours alone, this is a very beautiful photo.

There's a smooth blend between your subject and the background, as if the bokehed pattern is a blow-up of the girl shirt.

Good use of the temple's detail to create an interesting an original portrait.

Cheers!

Andre

Hello Sothy

That's a striking portrait with a wonderfully colored bokeh. I like very much the whole: sharpness, framing, attitude of your model. The saturation of the colors is very attractive too.
Congratulations
Regards

Hi,

Lovely portrait! The expression, the warm tones, the attitude, the sharpness. Really well done. The face is a tad bit too centered in my opinion but it's not really a big deal. This picture deserves way more points!

Best,

Philippe

Hello Sothy. Snap. Captured. You have photographed in the ideal moment. The candid study of the girl I like very well. Really a good shot. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Hi Sothy,
The rusty reds and oranges from the foreground to her clothing to her background create a unity in the shot, and her concerned yet almost curious expression as she peeps around the corner makes for a different kind of portrait.
Regards
Wanda

Hello Sothy

Long ago I have not had the opportunity to comment on your photos.
I like that look on your country, even and especially if you live over there.
Childhood is a great hope for Cambodia, it is a window into the future, under the eyes of a talented photographer .
Thank you sharing.
Escuse my bad english.
Regards.

Gorgeous photo, Sothy,

You have masterfully captured your young subject! The look of trepidation and curiosity on the young girl's face forces the viewer to contemplate why she is cautiously peering around the corner. Beautiful soft background that compliments the girl's apparel nicely. Stunning sharpness and color quality! Well done and thanks for sharing.

Hello Sothy,

This portrait is a product of good anticipation and use of colours.

Appropriate use of the 200mm lens.
