Welcome to Burma Photo

Photographer’s Note

Young girl from Bago or anciently, Pegu, near Yangon. For some reason, the hair, the simple smile, she reminded me of Aung San Kuu Kyi, The Lady.

Hello,
tu fais aussi dans le portrait birman aujourd'hui.
Elle est mignonne, bon usage de la courte PDC en position téléobjectif.
Un joli sourire un peu timide et le tanaka, très birman tout ça, bon titre.

Hi Herve,
Nice to see one of your pictures after the break i took from TE. I guess that is sandalwood paste on her forehead and cheeks. Love the closeup shot with the blurred background.
Nice portrait

Very nice portrait. Very nice smile. It's a kind of a smile that you must return a smile. TFS

Hello Hervé !
J’aime ce portrait !
Très belle mise en valeur de ce magnifique petit visage.
Le piqué au niveau des zones nets est très bon, l’arrière plan parfaitement floutté !
Quand la technique,la beauté et l’émotion se rencontrent, ça donne ce genre d’image !
Beau travail,j’adore
Merci du partage
Amicalement
Sébastien

excellent portrait. but could you tell us more about the markings on her face. it would be nice to know what social custom/tradition she's taking part in. but other than that, it's flawlessly clear and you obviously did a very good job of putting her at ease. good job.

Salut Herve,
excellent shot. Nothing more to say.
