I found this angel in the market in My Tho. She was the most angelic thing I had ever seen! Those deep, dark eyes; so soft and yet so piercing.
Initially, she wasn't looking at me, and I had to perform various acrobatic feats to attract her attention.

This picture is presented uncropped with some minor changes to contrast and colour.

Repost: Decided to try for a more traditional portrait as suggested. I liked her original pose, but recognised that the background was a bit distracting. And I really wanted to focus on those big brown eyes and the sad, almost enigmatic expression.

Dan -you have truly captured a young angel. She has a curious expression in their eyes . Well done ! I sharpened a little in the workshop.

She is a dool, great shot, I like the expressions, however with kids it is difficult sometimes with kids knowing how they are feeling. But the eyes do show sadness, well done and thanks
