[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Another boat trip took us to Chin State an opportunity to visit some of the outlying villages.
Chin State is a mountainous State in the west of Myanmar, sharing its western border with India and Bangladesh. The whole region is made up of high hills, largely dissected by deep valleys.
I read that in burmese chin means basket and the chin people so-called because of the baskets they used to carry their goods. The Chin Bon, Chin Bok and Laytoo are the Southern Chin Clans, the women were until 50 years ago distinguished by different facial tattoos.

Light is wonderful here, resulting in an excellent picture with great sharpness and details. Amazing scene with the pipe, which to me is so much associated to males behavior in the generation of my grand parents. Her cloth is great and you got such excellent definition there. Beautiful portrait.

:) tomorrow

Hello,

mangigique portrait, très réaliste et saisisant, cette dame portant sa charge avec sa piepe est merveilleusement capté, superbe.

Bravo et amitiés

Nicou

Mooi Elaine, heel erg mooi. Haar gezicht spreekt boekdelen in een prachtige expressie met pijp, maar wat mij het meest aanspreekt is haar kleding. Zo gedetaileerd, zo mooi en scherp neergezet, schitterend..!!!
Groetjes, Henk
