Hi Karen,
Really a fantastic portrait of this girl. Excellent colours and I particularly like the combination of the blue background with those green details of her dress. What tribe does she belong to?
Greetings from Gothenburg

Hello Karen,
A great portrait of this very attractive girl in her colourful costume. She is well posed to show off her costume to good effect in front of that blue gate. Superb colours and clarity.

Hi Karen

Wonderful, vibrant colour with good sharpness. I would place her just a little off centre to the left. Good facial expression & colour contrasts. Tfs!

This is a very decorative iamge, Karen. The color and sharpness are excellent. She does, however look rather stiff and posed. It is perhaps the most difficult thing to get a natural looking image from someone who is obviously posing. Usually the photographer distracting the subject by conversation and watching for the just right moment works. A friend once told me to take the posed picture, then smile and say 'thank you'.The subject then relaxes and smiles naturally and then you click the 'real' picture. I prefer to chat to the subject and elicit a natural , relaxed attitude. Regards Kevin

Hi Karen,
excellent blue background for that wonderful presentation of her dance clothing. I like all the details and her face too just waiting with patience for the capture to be finished.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf
