Hey guys out there.
Watch out this girl when she grew-up.
Many broken hearts will follow the path of her life.
And...Good for her!
Good for you James (that's for the picture)

Hi James,

An absolutely wonderful portrait. The little girl's eyes are so full of curiosity. Superb colors. I guess that the girl was moving and the this was the reason why the portrait is not sharp everywhere. But it is extremely sharp where it should be sharp. I love the photo and I think you have done really great job.

Cheers,

Ulf

Bonjour James,
Bien jolie cette petite ! Belle netteté mais je suis un peu surpris qu' 400 ISO le grain soit déjà assez sensible. Cela ne gène en rien la qualité d'ensemble de la photo.
Merci pour le partage.

Great portrait, lovely colours - very striking! She looks cheeky! Make sure you're sharp on the eyes - looks a little like it's focussed on her forehead.

Hi James, this is a beautiful portrait; she is so full of life! The colors are really amazing. It looks like the shot was a little blurry and then you sharpened it on the computer? To me it looks like the sharpening brought out a bit of grain that might be removed. Other than that, this is really great, and the lack of sharpness in some areas does not bother me. Nice depth of field.

Thanks for sharing!

I think the father saw, in a weird way, the realization that his daughter is beautiful to all the world, not just to him. And maybe the green rice fields of his village too. When people look at the LCD, they can have the fun to recognize themselves instantly, but sometimes, there is an approving look on their face, and usually, and they may know little between snapshots and cartier-Bresson, it happens when we have also done ourselves pride with the camera. I think your shot is one of those, nothing but what was in front of you, and yet, it glows with her primeval beauty against the incredible green bokeh.
