the skin tones are very very good. This photo has many contrasts in it but the one i like most is the bag of what appears to be a coomercial snack versus her surroundings. That just doesn't seem to fit and this bit of detail makes your photo so interesting to me. The photo is well balanced with rich colors and a great composition.

Hi Richard

A good daily life shot with well managed dof & good sharpness & lighting. I like the bright red clothing. Well done!

Very nice work, Richard. MUCH better once opened (thumbnail blues I gues...) BEautiful detachment from the bokeh area. There is an American Indian feel to this somehow - it's the mother's stance I guess. The kid looking straight at you ennances this fine picture no end. well done! Cheers, Francis

I am partial to poeple shots so I must say that I like this one. If it were me, I would have came closer. I could have approached them at the back. I am thick-faced, that's why. Nonetheless, this is a great shot Richard. One of your best from thailand, IMHO.

You catched very well this baby looking at you with his mother. I like also the DOF and the colors. I like this picture. Well done!

Very crisp and clear and a good POV - the baby's expression makes the shot though :)

This is a great daily shot, Richard - made so by the little boy's wonderful expression. I appreciated the rich colours even from the thumbnail. Well captured.

Very fine composed photo and with a great DOF - I like the pose and look at that kids face - reminds me of a shot I took some days ago - A little girls surpriced look by seeing a photographer.
