Hi Aldo!
That`s fuuny..
My first idea was to post an image with a pipe today,taken with you and Luca in Ngapali...
Wonderful portrait with a strong expression at her tattooed face.Maybe she looks so because of the sun.A great shot!
Best regards,and I hope we`ll meet again some day...
Leo

Very strong expression.
Did she pose for you reluctantly? Many times in SE Asia locals expect something in return.
My only observation is that the pipe is too close to the frame so if you cropped the photo I would add 1-2 cm to the bottom.
