[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Heya,

another shot from Vietnam.
This one shows one of the few Hmong girls who guide you through different villages and valleys when you go hiking in Sapa.

I like this one a lot since it shows the girl overviewing the rice terraces.

Hi kevin,
The girl in the cultivated land over viewing the rice terraces is good choice for a shot. I like her pose & the field in background adds beauty in it. Well done.

Hi Kevin.
Nice picture, the focus is right and the background is fine "blured".
Well done

K: alone, but doubtfully lonesome. Great image: compositionally superb with great color. I would try a little refined sharpening, but this one is a fine canvas. regards, c

nice colourful picture
even better if the woman was on the right side

Hi Kevin,

Nice moment you have captured here. Simple and beautiful. I like the rich colours of the dress and the view of the rice fields in the misty background.

Hi Kevin,
I will be there in 6 weeks and seeing thes elandscapes with those bautiful people inside makes me very exiting about my trip. Although she is looking away from you, i like the overal presentation with the basket on her back and the wonderful soft light from the landscape that stands in high contrast with her darker clothing.
A real nice picture...and how i love that umbrella she is carrying with her....perfect..!!!
Regards, Henk

What a beautiful one. I love the light you got despite the misty atmosphere. It is really magical. The shiny colors of the fields together with the darker colors of her clothes. Wonderful.

tomorrow for the :)

Great view of Sapa that use a very nice DOF. It may be better, maybe, to move the woman on the right to open the space in front of her.
Happy new year, Jean-Claude
