Photographer’s Note

Another from the Pesta Bali. I don't know enough about Ramayana or Gamelan to know her character's name, so I picked a silly one of my own. She can't be over 15.

There's a purple cast I had trouble with in this shot. Still working with RAW and PS. Comments, WS's welcome.

Hi Caleb,
I've seen your photo, and I can tell you that it has give to me exacly what I hope from a very good photo, the "impact" of the first second when you see it, and it still remains!
In my opinion, no mather what you say about the purple cast, I think it's a very espectacular portrait.
Perfect!

You acknowledged the purple cast, but the beauty and richness of the pix easily outweigh that. The make-up with the flowers (iris?) on each side, combined to the strength or concentration she exhibits is really powerful, still as a counterpoint to her attractiveness.
The purple and gold printed cloth sets the portrait down exquisitely.

Great craft, caleb.

PS: if she is not Sita, the main female character, then i'd say she has no name.

Wow!

Stunning, 'portfolio quality' portrait. Perfect sharpness, dof, color & compo. Ilike the out of focus symmetry with the identical looking background dancer. Really well done, Caleb!

This is a very nice compo with the diagonal of her arm to make a portrait so soft and clear up to the finest details, miised the top of her crown but not relevant to her very nice serene face in her act. Well done Caleb.
