The Sunbeam Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

As bright as a sunbeam (in her clothes and humour) in the early morning light. The tanakah has just been applied and is still wet.

Dear Elaine
An absolute beauty! The woolens, bright, stand out. Look how she poses for you...the tanakah on her face, as if she readies herself for getting onto the stage with make-up, only difference, the stage & drama is the real life. Excellent use of shallow DOF once again. Bravo!
Beat Regards

hi eliane
she is so cute with her red hat and her fresh tanakha on her cheeks, even with dull light you have achieved a superb photo.

Hello Elaine
She looks fantastic and I like the way, she is posing for you in a natural way and her dynamic/joyful expression! Her hat made of rattan, the colorful clothes, BG and framing are just fine!
Cheers

Hi Elaine.

This is a really good picture. Very well captured. I like the expression of the little girl here. I feel the depth of field you have used here also adds to the feel and gives a good composition.

Well done!

Blair

Dag elaine,
De ws vind ik niks, veel te zwaar aangezet en dat past niet met die achtergrond. Vind dit veel natuurlijker, vooral hoe ze in de omgeving staat. Scherpte is top, maar het is haar mooie glimlach wat de show steelt...prachtig.
Groetjes, Henk

Hi elaine,
She is really superb! Love her pose, clothes, and freshly applied thanaka(morning is the better time for thanaka portraits, of course!)
It would have been even better with some sunlight on her face, but we cannot always have it all... I love it the same anyway!
Greetings from Bangkok

Magnifique portrait! J'aime beaucoup la pause de l'enfant, les couleurs et la qualité de l'image (le WS, un peu plus lumineux, apporte un petit plus à la photo)
Amicalement
JJ

A pleasant portrait Elaine with all these colors even on the face, she is a born actrice with her natural spontaneous smile. The cap she is holding is really the eyepuller. The soft reholded light very eye-appealing.

A stunning portrait, Elaine!
Everything is great: her pose, her sight but what I like more are the colours on a foggy background.
A smile

Hi Elaine, and here is another one I missed. Great colours, really standing out from the misty BG and a great posture and expression. cheers, Steve
