Mother and Child Photo

Photographer’s Note

Again, I took this picture in Munduk temple during Galungan festival.
This woman and her baby have some rice on their faces, a tradition for this ceremony.

I think I was a bit to close for the framing...

Hi Sophie,
I like those characters and the scene, but what bothers me more than the tight composition is the shadow on the mother's head. I guess you hade to consider using flash in this tricky situation of light.
Cheers,
Alon

Le riz est vraiment sacré là-bas... Ce n'est pas évident de prendre les êtres humains et ici j'aime bien le regard de la mère sur son enfant, qui lui te regarde d'un air curieux. Bravo!
