Hi Leo,
ein sehr nettes Lächeln mit Kriegsbemalung ;-)))
Sehr schönes natürliches Porträt, mit dem Blitz sehr gut belichtet und auch die Bildauteilung passt.
Viele Grüße
Hartmut

Hi Andreas

An authentic looking smile, with good sharpness & shadow detail. The make up sure is distinctive! Tfs!

Hallo Andreas,
ein sehr schönes Portrait, das du mit dem Blitz gekonnt belichtet hast. Das natürliche Lächeln stimmt positiv und die Bemalung bringt einen zusätzlichen Effekt. Der Strand und das Meer ist ein schöner Hintergrund für die junge Dame. Gefällt mir.
Viele Grüße aus dem saukalten Donautal,
Helmut

Hi Andreas

another beautiful photo.
The most important part of any close up portrait, are the eyes! And you captured them with clarity, and even with the flash dotted in them.

great colours as well,
nice work

regards, Craig

Hi Andreas,
Ah, the kind of smile that make you smile back even to the computer monitor. That is just lovely, a classic of the Burmese with there tanaka paste all over the face. Beautiful skin tone, great light, great details and a beautiful setting and background too.
Way
