W: the Black 'Mong: a gentle people with a gentle air about them. The outlying environs of Sapa will always be an idyllic getaway in my my mind. Now, about your shot - simple, effective and a nice use of the 'black' frame. green day. c

Hi Wanda!
Great photo! I like this blurry background and this extremely sharp lady. The colors are also incredible.
Well done.

Best wishes,
Eino

That looks pretty intriguing and well composed Wanda and an absolute switch from varanasi. The colours and the tones are well managed. and the sharpness and the overwhelming fabric is beautiful.

Very nice catch at the right moment. You caught a great attitude, the choice of DOF is perfect, teh colours wonderful Great work.

Hi Wanda,
an interesting and colourful portrait of that black H'mong woman. Her clothing is excellent to see in the colours and texture, she seems to look at something and think about it.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi Wanda, very good portrait of this lady, with excellent colour and through your choice in aperture you've nicely isolated her from her background. I like too that it's not a posed shot. She looks concerned about something, and you've caught it.

Thanks, John

I always love seeing traditional clothing, which I'm sure I've told you before, and this is especially beautiful. Very vibrant colors and sharpness, and also a very nice pose. Well done! TFS

Hi Wanda,

Not only the traditional clothing is photogenic, but her facial profile is also a great feature. Good expression and position. I appreciate to see her ear decorations and typical hat.

Sharp details that allows your subject to pop-out from the back, perfectly "bokehed"...

Cheers!

André
