[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Java is an island of Indonesia, and the site of its capital city, Jakarta. It is the most populous island, and one of the most densely-populated regions, in the world. The former site of powerful Hindu kingdoms and the core of the colonial Dutch East Indies, Java now plays a dominant role in the economic and political life of Indonesia.

This photo was made in central Java, namely near the Dieng Plateau Volcano (which you can see in another photo inside my gallery). It was 6 am and I was going to climb to photograph the volcano. Nevertheless, just before that, I passed a little village. Surprinsingly to me, prayers start very early in the morning there and this little girl was heading to the nearaby musk. Her look is strong and unforgetable.

I hope you enjoy.


PS: I appologise for the 500px larger side and watermark in the frame, but some unauthorized use has happened before in other websites (including mine).

Hi Joel,

Nice portrait. I like her strong, very strong face's expression. Simple portrait but very expressive.
Thanks, Alain -

Hi Joel, even if I have a certain problem that girls or women have to wear these shadors ... your picture is really strong. The way this girl looks to you is amazing.
Great capture.

What an amazing expression, you shot right on time. I'm glad you didn't cropped to a full head, the cloak contributes for the beauty of the photo.
