Beautiful little girl Wanda. I like the pout and casual pose. Colors are nice. I would suggest a little fill flash to bring out her face though. But otherwise quite nice.

Hello Wanda. I like this picture because of its cultural and colorful nature. The little gild dressed in traditional dress and the typical cacti in the background create a simple, yet effective composition. Nice work with the colors and sharpness and excellent subject.

Hi Wanda,
Nice portrait in superb surroundings, fine subject too with flowers around her head! The cactus and stones make a good
BG too
Fine colors

Hello Wanda,
Nice portrait of this Peruvian girl. She is looking to the camera but doesn't really seem to be interested unlike the kids at many of the photo's from India we see here at TE.
I like the very nutral colors in this photo and your framing, well done.

This is a charming portrait of this little girl Wanda, and I like how you left space around her by not framing too tightly. It allows us to get an idea of the environment, and the background is nicely blurred.
I have one or two niggles (as usual!) though. First of all, I wish that there was a bit of a gap between the girl's head and the cactus; a step to the left would have sorted this.
Secondly, what's that object at the bottom of the frame that is partially obscuring the girl's foot. At first I thought it was a rock, but on closer inspection it looks more like a hat, especially with the patch of blue clothing(?) next to it.
Neither niggle is enough to detract too much from this great shot though. I like it a lot.
Good work.

Cheers,
Ben

Hi Wanda,
I see you visited many interesting countries! I'd like to visit Peru, too.... I've so many places to discover...
Beautiful shot of this lovely little girl: the flowers on her head and her eyes are full of beauty and innocence.
Have a nice day!

Hi Wanda,
great. I like it a lot. Wonderful moment and wonderful captured. The impression is very simple and very deep. A moment of life and nothing else. No addition needed. Congratulations.

A wonderfully composed shot Wanda. Great framing by the cacti, and excellent colours. The girl has a serious expression which evokes a certain atmosphere in the shot.

You present us here another great portrait of Peruvian people. You captured her very nicely and put her in context while not letting it ditract our atention.
Her expression is quite intringuing.

Hi Wanda,

Really beautiful. The soft sepia colors work really nice to create an atmosphere here. It lloks almost as a painting. Dof is prefect and your subject just too cute! It was taken on one of the places I loved most in Peru.

Cheers,

Flavia

Hi Wanda,
she has that look in her face:D I really like her posture, the look in her face and even the shape of her face. I like the environment that surrounds her. It is full of textures(especially with the cactus and the rocks) and earth colors.
I have pretty much the same comment as ben4321. I wonder if it would be a good idea to crop the bottom to remove that thing at the bottom...but that would be a shame because it would remove part of her feet, which give a good idea of her posture(legs crossed). also, I think her head should be surrounded by the background with earth colors...and not by the cactus. Just an opinion:D
I wish you a wonderful day:D

Hi Wanda. It is good to see this sort of composition of the locals in their environment. It often amazes me to see how clean and neat the clothes of some people, even when their surroundings would seem to make doing that difficult. Good colours and clarity. TFS. Murray.

Hi Wanda. Lovely shot of this proud little Inca.One can tell she is her mother's treasure. The cacti and the wild flowers upon her hat somehow complement each other and give us some insight into the rugged beauty of the place. Well done. Regards. Klaudio.

Hi Wanda,

Such a nice portrait, with your subject in a perfect setting that reinforces the origin of the little girl. Her costume is highly photogenic, almost too good to be true! The desaturation of the colours create an atmosphere of nostalgie and peace.

Excellent catch!

She looks a model in the photo. A very beuatiful girl in a great background. The tones are nice as well, a bit yellowish that indicates the air was dry. A very lovely, sweet portrait of the girl.
