[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Hmong are the second largest hill tribe group. The wear simple black jacket, indigo trouser or skirt and silver jewellery. They usully live on mountain peaks or plateaus above 1000m.

Tribespeople come in town to sell their handcrafts and compare to the vietnamese peddlers, they have a nice approach. Words come out from them like a song.

post process: played with levels; increased saturation; ran in neat image; used the burn and blur tool; desaturated the background; ran in unsharp mask.

Beautiful portrait. I can now recognize your pics Steeve before even looking at the name. You have a way of capturing a look, an expression, that trnsforms a simple portrait of a person into a portrait of a soul. There is often in your pics a little softness on the faces that could be attributed to a lack of focus, but it is so light that IMO it gives just a soft look which works very well with the kind of portrait you take.

The only thing a little distracting here is the chair in the background. I like the frame here, picks up the same nice colors as her clothing.

What a pensive little girl you have here! The composition of this photo is superb. She stands out nicely from the background. The colors of her clothing are bright without being too garrish. You also did some nice work on the frame, which, incidentally enhances this photo quite well.

The expression on her face tells a lot about the life that can be hard where they live.
Like the warm colour of her face in contrast to the dark clothes, also the thin lila frame. Less the chair(?) in the background - but there are situation one can decide to do it or to let it.
Yours was right

ce que j'en pense ?
Magnifique photo qui degage une emotion avec en primes des belles couleur

Very beautiful picture Steeve. I like the composition and the softness of the features of your subject. The frame is okay but the fuschia line is a bit distracting.

L'expression du visage de cette jeune fille est extraordinaire, vous avez très bien réussi à la capter. J'aime beaucoup, bravo.

Wonderful portrait with this expressive and serious mood. Clothes and ear rings arrangement make the whole picture very attractive. Colors are superb. Sharp where needed make all details very present. Very well framed too.

A wonderfull photo Steeve. I really like the expression on here face. Her eyes seem older then they probably are. Great colors on her clothes, not to garish.

Beautiful face in a pensive mood and fine color & detail. The chair in the b/g is unfortunate, but you have done well to desaturate it to lessen the impact. Very lovely travel portrait. Cheers!

Very nice portrait..I love the colors of the embroidery, and the way she is looking elsewhere.. She seems lost in a fantastic world..
Happy holidays to you Steeve.

Superbe portrait. L'image est très clair et très beau sujet!!
