Hey hey, old pal. You don't come any more in the other site?
Classic Bac Ha, well made and pleasant to look at, but perhaps lacking of some "decisive moment" lustre? ... Well, these flower hmongs are candies to the eye aren't they.

Interesting double portrait. I like the colours and patterns of the textiles (as well as the textures of the older woman's skin). I also like the way you have filled the frame.
regards
Bev

All your work is of a certain quality that ranks on the highest positions here on TE. Flawless, with superb colour treatment and always a nice and interesting faces. No idea if you sell your work, but there is surly a market for it.
Have a nice weekend, Henk

Hi Caleb,
Awesome shot and those expressions are absolutely priceless, especially the older lady on the left. Your colors, details, and sharpness are absolutely stunning. Excellent work and TFS. Gerald

Bonjour Caleb,
Deux très jolis portraits. Cette opposition de cette jeune et de cette personne au visage très marqué est très bien vu. Qualité technique superbe.

Hi Caleb!
It's been a while since I have visited your gallery. It's always a treat. Having seen the Flower H'mong in Sapa, I decided to comment on this one of many great photos you have. You have really done a wonderful job of getting a close up and heartfelt view of these folks. My attempts were much more candid and less successful. Lovely colors and clarity! cheers,
Steve
