Girl in canoe Photo

Photographer’s Note

I've never taken photos of people on my travels, it's usually landscapes or buildings. My recent trip to the Solomon's is my first attempt to photograph people. When our boat anchored, local villagers would paddle to our boat to sell their wares. This is a photo of one of those impropmtu markets.

I think she is trying to say, "are you going to buy my strange vegtables"?
I love the angle of the light in this photo.
I wonder if the people in line sold there goods?
What a great trip!

aaa, good capture of her face expression. It was good because she didn't stare at your lens and made a neat pose for a shot. I like her natural expression. By the way, if you didn't title it "a girl in canoe", I even didn't recognise where she was sitting in.

Hi Hilari,
If you do travel a lot, people photography can be an interesting option. If this is your first, then you have done a wondeful job here. The light on the girl's face is a sight to behold. Well Done!
