Eating the profits Photo

Photographer’s Note

Staying in Cambodia and in Kratie market. This little girl was munching her way through the corn/maize that her mother was selling.
Kratie is a small town on the Mekong river boasting some very fine Khmer achitecture.

An absolutely delightful study of childhood Elaine - what a lovely expression - I like the long composition with the follow through to the figures in the background. I find the pink bag on the left a little distracting for two related reasons - first the burn on it and secondly the effect it then has on drawing the eye as you look back towards your otherwise well captured background - only a minor irritation - I'm nitpicking!

Forgive me - a late night and I've just got up!

best wishes

Kev

Hi Elaine,
I like this portrait, the expression of this kid is simply really nice.
Nicely catched.
Though I'd think that you could try to crop the top of the photo, to focus on her.

So cute, so sweet, too bad she was not looking at you, but this portrait is so beautiful, that it doesn' bother me too much ;o).
Very nice expression captured, very candid.
Well done
luan

Hello Elaine
nice portrait, with this funny and smiley girl ... good POV, but concerning frame, i would crop a little the top (just above the head, 1 or 2 cm) to avoid the barrels. nice light and colors.
Regards, hugues
