Hello caleb
I like the green wall in the shadow withe blurred 2nd lady in the BG
Nicely tightly framed on the right, the colors are great but what I like most is your telent to place the main personnage in the light, emphasized by the trest of the image in the shadow and/or out of focus
A quite smart way to attract the eyes of the viewer
Best regards caleb

Veru good composition, perfect situation with the two girls looking at you... and good choice of blurring the backgorund!
Bravo!

the young girl is cute and draws the attention but for me it is the OOF elelgantly posed lady in the background that does this one!!

Caleb
Composition, the best possible use of light (on her face), the shallow DOF...all brilliant! Superb shot
Best Regards

a high quality shot here. i love the way of doing it, basically a double. i appreciate your documenting these ethnic groups, in their colorful traditional costumes.
greetings from Trieste,

Hi Caleb,
like this photo very much. Just a critique about how you cut the right side of the photo. Feels little bit unbalanced to me. Would have liked to see the arms / hands of the girl. But maybe there is a wall on the right side and the girls hides little bit behind it ? Or maybe there are other things on the right and below the photo that you don't want to show.
But I'm not sure if I am right with my opinion. Maybe this unbalance makes the photo more interesting. I am not an expert in the theory of composing photos.
Enjoy Roland
