the girl behind a skirt Photo

Photographer’s Note

shot in a little village on Rio Napo, Ecuador. I was walking alone trough the jungle , about 4 days and 150 km, and experienced things really interesting. Those people never get to see tourist because there is no jungle lodge or road around. this is why the children were frigtened - of course just in the beginning.

this a AAA shot swiatek! i love the close up you achieved with this girl! sharp focus, excellent compo and crop, great colors, nothing to nit pick about...il ike the way the blue dresss cuts the frame in two equal parts...it gives some momentum to the portrait! congrats!

This is cool. I like the stark blue of the dress she is holding onto. The compo is excellent with just a part of her face visible. Maybe a crop from the top to eliminate the fingers would be beneficial. Just an idea. Anyway, this is good work. Well done.

Very very good composition, and her face is worth gold, I mean this is the kind of shot, you don't have a lot of time to do. Did you happen to pass a village called ahuano - long shot, but maybe??

Her glance is a very curious one. Lovely shot.

its great to see a photograph like this without a smile. it;s easy to capture a smile , but more difficult to capture a moment such as this one.
really nice
although not as good as your first one
:)

The eyes are smouldering an dthe blue complimented the mood of this picture. This is one picture of a child that really stands out.

Hi Swiatek,

Very elegant shot, nice blue and of course nice look of the girl. I like the fact that the girl's face is tilted and it gives a powerful touch to the image. Izzet Keribar
