Photographer’s Note
This lady in Hoi An was laughing because she had seen her picture on the LCD of a digital camera: she was so delighted she was only too happy to pose for a few more shots!
I did a quick search for 'smile' photos before I posted this one - and I reckon there are probably more smiles from Vietnam on TE than from anywhere else..............

Awww, I just want to give her a hug! She looks so happy! Great job at capturing a spontaneous moment. I like how you cropped it in pretty close and kept the background blurred so the viewer can focus on her face. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Brian, you've captured the expression and humour of this old lady perfectly. Well exposed and very well composed. Stephen
