Hi Yuval. I like the pose and the lovely combination of pink and green. I found the light a little diffused and did a workshop to give the picture more definition. Nice capture. Regards. Klaudio.

Appealing composition. Ahhh, there, I see how she adds tea leaves to the sack she is carrying. The color of her sweater adds interest to this very green shot. Lovely. Thank you, Judy
