Indonesia's flag, a photo from Jawa Barat, Java

Photographer's Note

There's an earlier post of this girl in my thumbnails. Here are the colors of Indonesia: red, white, and brown. Some teens choose to be a bit more liberal with their attire, even in conservative Java.

I really like the composition and the background colors. I also think the lighting on the girl's face is appropriate and balanced.

Very enjoyable picture.

Well, as one can guess from your note, it's not by mere chance that your picture is so nice: a background carefully chosen, a perfect light (did you use a reflector ?) and a shallow DOF as needed...

Never mind the flag, Caleb, she is a beautiful girl, and you caught an impeccable indonesian smile to share with us. Blissful!

Hi Caleb

A good portrait, with excellent sharpness & dof. I like the opposing diagonals. Well done.

A beautiful portrait, with the Indonesian flag's colors background. The white area emphasizes the color of her face very nicely. Very well captured and framed.

Hi Caleb. She is very beautiful - you know how I am a sucker for this type of pic. Post as many as you like of her.

Lighting, sharpness and DOF all excellent. Composition good and the colours work well with the red background seeming to mimic the glow in the girl's face.

Ah......there is Miss Java 2010 again!
Beautiful portrait of this beauty. You have captured a nice warm smile that is always welcome. I don't know which I like more, the one where she is looking somewhere else or this one. Maybe a third post will make up my mind?
Hands up for who want to see more of her!

Hi Caleb!

A very lovely portrait. She has a beautiful face, a shy smile. I like very much the background, with the bi-color wall, which seems to have a fabulous texture. Your idea to link it to Indonesia flag is brilliant.

Best regards,
Marine

Hello Scalerman,
Very beautiful concept of potrait. Red and white as a backaground and a young girl as a focus. I love it.

Thanks for share.
