Apsara and child Photo

Photographer’s Note

I had the fortune to capture the look of this little child, being at the right time in the right place. I was walking through the ruins of the wonderful temple of Angkor Wat, looking at the beautiful sculptures, when I have seen she, appearing behind a window, with a beautiful face clean and smiling. I had just the time to point and shoot, while the child intimidated was going back. The light was low, because the sky was cloudy. It will remain with the best memories that I have brought from the beautiful Cambodia.

Hello Marcello,
I know exactly what you mean...one sec she is there and the next second she is not...! A good catch. Makes me remind of a similar shot i took in tamilnadu here.
Very good contrast in colours of the girl and the temple stones..

Hi Marcello!
Great shot from Angkor!
I like the composition with her smiling and the nice carving.

Ciao Marcello. Such an animated and happy face amongst all that inanimate stone. The fact that the light was low has helped you catch her features. Sometimes the least studied shots are the best, the ones taken quickly with a quick heartbeat.Hai fatto bene. Ciao. Klaudio.
