Hi Caleb,
Well, your note just about sums it all up: what makes this photo is of course all these vibrant colors, both in the bakcground and on this woman's clothes. Besides that, you've managed a very soft light on her face and I like that little sparkle in her eyes!
Cheers,
Bibi

An interesting colourful portrait captured with great clarity and against a meaningful more fuzzy background. The girl has a calm and sure look that has been well captured.

Fantasticos colores y grande detalles en la composición Me parece muy bien compuesta con la mujer desplazada hacia la izquierda para dejar mucho espacio para esos preciosos colores.
los detalles de la vestimenta son muy importantes en esta fotografía también.
Simplemente hermosa
felicitaciones

Hi, Caleb. India is a country that is made for photographers! The colours are absolutely gorgeous here. The girl's dress and the vivid colours on the door are a pleasure to the eye. Moreover, the young lady's face inspires serenity and her eyes are lovely.
Have a nice day,
Philippe

Hi Caleb!
Very lovely. The sort of dead-pan expression, which of course you can get so often with people, works for me here, and there is just a hint of a smile. Great focus and clarity, and a good quick glimpse into another reality really. Great work, cheers,
Steve

the colours just jump out from this coffee and white new look screen. Cant say I am mad about it at the moment but early days.
Shame the armbands are a bit blown out but aprt from that, lovely.

Hi Caleb,
gorgeous portrait ! Her sad eyes have a story to tell... Have you tried to cut just little bit more on the right and below ? The white arm rings are a little bit too white. But on the other hand cutting away the two arm rings on the left is maybe no good idea. Not sure about that.

Such a dignified way of posing ! Colours are stricking, the clothes are splendid... you are venturing in remote places to show us another aspect of India, far from the usual clichés ; watching your gallery is always a sort of "adventure" !

Hi Caleb,
it would be easier if you could select "critique all photos" in one hit, it would take me hours to go through you back catalogue and complete all the comments. Your vibrant colours and street scenes are excellent, you must have a rare smile to get all these people to pose for you - congratulations.

cheers

John
