[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The H'mong people migrated from China in the 19th century and are now one of the largest ethnic groups in Vietnam.
This is a girl from the Black H'mong people and she along with many other girls would walk with us on our walks sometimes the entire way to sell us their beautiful handmade crafts. She is holding a bedspread which is exquisitely made and she is also selling embroidered handbags and beautiful silver jewelry.

Hello Wanda,

Thanks for this great shot with its lovely blurred background. A pity, though, that this girl was so closely followed by that other girl. The extra arm makes the difference between a good shot and a real masterpiece here.
Cheers.
Benny

The portrait is well crafted and takes care of the emotions and expressions very well and with natural colours and hues. I like the work. Its nicely and expertly composed.

hi Wanda
the portrait is great indeed, fine colours and sharpness, about the third arm it "makes the difference between a good shot and a real masterpiece here" as Benny said well

Hi Wanda, during my visit in Laos I'd have liked to meet H'mong people but unfortunately I couldn't...
Your shot is very good, with fine details and brilliant colours but the best detail is the mouvement you fixed.
Nice!
