hello Caleb,
Great shot, delicate colors makes nice atmosphere here. Well done.
Did she bit you after the shot? ;)
Take care!

Hi Caleb,
This is really the kind of photo that will teach you something about the world. Good colours and composition, but above all that, a picture showing interesting details of a world far away.
Greetings from Gothenburg

Hey Caleb,

Good work here. A beautiful set of nicely saturated colors, an expert composition. As for the central motive - perfect timing.

Enjoy.

Quelle magnifiques couleurs! Tout me plaît dans cette image. Le plus : les 4 cadres et la fenêtre penchés. La douceur des couleurs et la beauté fière de cette femme font presque oublier le délabrement du mobilier.
Bonne soirée!

Top of the world for me...
Yes...
With those verticals and tilted horizontals...
Yes...
With that posing woman in there...

A classic...
As classical classic as only the good photography can be...

Yes its a picture that maybe you never know before and you framed this beautiful lady perfect with the bg. I like the clarity and the sharpness and even her posed and looking to your camera still make it interesting. Well done Caleb, thanks for showing this picture.

Yep, another great picture, Caleb. I like the soft colours and the way she interrupts her daily chores and poses for the visiting alien :-)

On the other hand, the note seems to be written in hurry. From Turpan I visited the lovely village of Tuyoq. Is this the same village? I'd be interested in more info, I'm sure there is a story behind it.

Cheers.

Benny

Hi Caleb,
Very interesting portrait. The model is quite photogenic, although not exactly very attractive. Anyway, I find her pose interesting. The rest of the room makes a nice backdrop. A very vivid 'daily life' of that Uighur housewife.

An intimate glimpse into the lives of the people of the Flaming Mountain. Her pose Caleb, straight out of Vogue
