Photographer's Note

Sittwe fish market is busy, bustling, dirty and moreover smelly. It was here I met this beautiful young girl, she sold fish paste used for broth.

Hi Elaine. My compliments for this powerful portrait. Everything is masterfully realized. The young woman has self-consciousness and rests in itself. I like the open look. Well seen and presented. Rgds, Wolfgang.

hi Elaine

Stunning natural portrait. She seems tired, and the traces she has on her face make me think of tears.
Good camera setting to get a blurred background which color is in accordance with the portrait and cloth.
Greetings

Another very natural portrait, Elaine. Good dof, good bg blur and the thanakka can be trusted upon to provide that touch of couleur locale.

Bonjour Elaine

A superb head & shoulders portrait of this enigmatic Burmese girl with her painted face, necklace & the flower in her hair. Good sharpness & shadow detail with a nice narrow dof. Tfs!

Ciao Eleaine, a portrait very expressive, beautiful eyes and look deeper, maybe a bit sad,I think too much makeup for her age...

Hi Elaine!
I really like this portrait! Somehow she seems unhappy and that matches a lot with the rose she has on her hair. Well framed!
