Hello,

This is an interesting shot of a young lady. You captured really well the eyes full of emotions and the stillness of the expressionless mask. The elaborate costume provides nice details. It would be great to learn more about the performance. TFS.

Regards,
Izabela

Hello I Wayan

Great timing to capture the contrasting expressions between girl and mask. How the eyebrows speak!

Hi I Wayan,

I like that you gave aperture priority, thus the background does not distruct the fine patterns of the costume. By this way the eye can entirely focus on the details of the person.

Looking at the aspect ration of your photograph I assume that you have cropped it that way in order to draw attention on the womans eyes, which does the job perfectly.

Personally I would like to see more of the hat and the upper body of the person as it seems that she is wearing a beautiful handcrafted costume. I would have cropped it slightly larger. However, this is only my personal taste and does not affect the quality of your image at all.

Well done!

Happy shooting, Alfie
