Portrait by the Red Sea Photo

Photographer’s Note

A portrait of a little girl taken in Dahab, Egypt, by the Red Sea. On this day, I went with a few friends I had made to a little pebble beach - and they went out snorkelling. I stayed back to watch over our stuff, and interacted with some kids who were trying to sell bracelets. Insead of dismissing them as bothersome sellers, I took the chance to talk with them, do some drawings, and let them take some of their own photos with my camera.

Hi Dave from Oz,

this is a clever way to turn a "bothering" situation into a "creative" one...and...it takes very little to do that.
the little girl seems to have fun from this unexpected shooting session....

well done

Hi Dave, touching photo of this cute girl, expression and pose were well caught. POV was good, getting level with her face, and I like the inclusion of the pebbles. With so much good about this image the sky is almost a distraction. cheers, Steve
