Gasan Girl Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

We stopped by the markets in Gasan on our way through to Torrijos. After looking around the clothes and stalls, we went through the meat section and where about to leave. And i noticed this little girl was sitting by her mother's stall staring at us all, i don't know why, mayby she was curious about the camera or our group.. So i took a shot.

Obvious editing was the choice of B&W, and addition of a border. I think B&W works in this shot compared to the original colour version. Although i have uploaded the same shot in the original Colour version for you to decide.

Hi Tom,

Great sharpness and positioning of your subject. Looks like she's going to pop out my monitor =)

Tom,

I am deeply humbled through your portraits, and shots in general.

This shot really cuts deep into universal humanity, it demands emotion.

Truthfully I don't know any way that it could have been composed better.

This little girl is so beautiful!!! I love how those big eyes are looking up at you. The b&w is very nice, good lighting and contrast. I also like the color version. A great capture. TFS
