[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
She was driving her sheeps to minnanthu village close to Bagan. When i met her she was smoking a huge cheroot. Cheerot is the typical cigar smoked in Myanmar by farmers and especially women !
She uses tobacco and maize leaves to make it. I asked her to try. "no problem". Her bag was full of cheerots !

Beautiful portrait, very good colors saturation and textures. I like also the background with colors totally different. Only critique: this is a spot for smokers! (I'm joking).

Bravo pour ce portrait Laurent, qui bien évidemment tire sa force du cheroot qui se consomme peu à peu. Je trouve que les couleurs obtenues en arrière plan, grâce à la courte profondeur de champ, aident encore plus à relever et mettre en valeur ton sujet.

i love this one Laurent. Just right in every respect. Your crop is great. What an amazing country.

wow! thats a big chico!!! nice composition and exposure though..

tes belle image, Laurent. I like very much the ochre of the background against the tone of her skin and her blue blouse. colors eminently pleasing. Bravo!

very nice portrait, nicely composed, lots of colors, nice bokeh, nice moment too. very pleasant photo
