[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A Gyarong Tibetan lady pauses outside the Buddhist lamasery in Tagong, western Sichuan - she was there with friends to circumambulate and pray during a pilgrimage. The Gyarong are rumored to be the fairest of Tibetans in Ambdo - at least, according to themselves.

ISO at 100 ASA and focal length at 148.00mm.

Hi, friend!
It is very interesting view from China. I like your beautiful portrait. Good composition. I like her face. Good colours and light. Well done.
Marek

An excellent portrait of this Gyarong Tibetan. The colors are always beautiful, but here, what attracts me the most is that amber-green eyes that we guess more than we see. I don't know who are the fairest (between the Litang "cowboy" style girl of the other day and her, difficult to come to a decision) but she indeed has a beautiful face with sensuous lips. And these eyes... I also love the pink background that underlines her headdress.
Regards,
Marine

Attractive portrait,Suitable POV that express the clearly emotion in her face,Good saturation and Crisp sharpness in her eye.Good work,TFS.

Hi Caleb,
A very excellent portrait in living color. The shallow depth of field is perfect here to bring full and undivided attention to the subject. good clarity and brisk colors. Well seen and TFS. Gerald

Hi Caleb,

She has a beautiful thoughtfulness etched by the wind ... the combination of the tones of her hair dress and the background work well together . as does the angle of light amplified by the way brightness and darkness work across the background .. wonderful. take care, John

Another excellent portrait Caleb, the face is very well exposed and it stands out well against the dark background. Very nice work.

Ciao Caleb, fascinating portait of lovely woman, splendid colors, very well done, ciao Silvio

Hello Caleb

These are the photographs I like to see in your gallery...portraits of the people from the places you`ve been.
Of course,she`s placed good in the framing,I can understand her skin color as how should be,but I think,a little bit its orange,maybe too much saturated...I do not know what you`ve done as a PP job.
Expressive face.
Overall...good one.

Kind regards

hello Caleb
wonderful portrait!I love the harmony of colours between the background and the "things" this lady has in her hair,that makes the photo perfect!I also like the contrast between the modern style(jean jacket) and the traditions(hair)!Superb!
Regards
Pascale

Hello Caleb,
A very cultural portait of this lovely lady dressed in her finery. I am admiring her thick braid of hair. Great colours, light management and skin tones.
A beauty to be sure.
The best, Joni.
