Salut Patrick, this woman is so exotic and intriguing. You have captured her in all her beauty and feminie wiles. The hand gestures just draw you into the photo. Wonderful job, TFS, Lisa.

Tres, tres belle photo de cette femme nomade, je vais régulièrement au Rajasthan mais je ne connais pas Pushkar, ça donne vraiment envie d'y aller pour faire d'aussi belles photos, elle a une tres belle expression de visage, j'aime beaucoup la position des doigts, les couleurs aussi sont tres belles!
Bravo
Greg

Bonsoir Patrick,
Un beau portrait avec une grande clarté aussi dans les parties ombrées. Un arrière-plan neutre qui pourrait venir d'un studio. Quel geste et expression exprimant la confidence. Qualification nécessaire dans sa profession...
Bonne soirée,
Paul

Visiblement elle a sorti tous ses atours pour appâter le client. Une pose et un sourire de top modèle mais j'admire surtout son costume. Beau portrait!
Amicalement

Hello Patrick,
A fine portrait of this colourfully dressed fortune teller. I like her pose and expression and you control over the depth of field which lifts her from the light coloured background. Very good clarity where it is needed.

I really like this photo, Patrick, the bright background is perfect to bring out her dark clothes and intesne look. I agree with Lisa's first comment that the gesture seems to invite viewer into the photo. technically impeccable work, great shot.

best,
Kristine

Beautiful portrait, dear Patrick, the typical Indian beauty captured in a wonderful and intense expression. The good sharp and pleasant contrast with the clear BG, let us appreciate the beautiful clothes of this beautiful Indian girl. Congratulations!
Ciao, have a nice day!

Hi Patrick,
I'm surprised this doesn't not get more attention, but what an eye catcher. Her make up is a bit overly heavy, but it seems to fit her personality and the whole outfit work together really well. The look is really intense, I feel like she is looking at me as I'm typing. Anyway. Really excellent portriat shot. Beautiful detaild and great color and light.
Way

Hi Patrick!
Many wonderful new posts, but this one draws me in, perhaps because I have been to Pushkar. She has that "look". Maybe it's the black makeup. I must go back there for the Camel Fair. Great portrait! Kind regards,
Steve
