She has the most beautiful smile one can imagine precisely because she lives on the beach with no electricity and running water. Right. As you say, we have everything here and everyone is so unhappy. Is this romanticism? Perhaps. In part, sure. But anyone who has seen it knows the truth of it. It runs counter to all our logic and all our expectations. Adam Smith would have no answer to this conundrum. But her unbridled laughter would send all his pages of theories flying off like grains of sand in the wind. Best, -Hugh (I think I'll turn this fancy computer off now and go outside.) AROBN54 (6250) [2007-11-04 7:04] Bonjour, George, What an incredible smile. And the contrast of her bright red blouse and the soft muted colors is stunning. I don't believe it takes "stuff" to make you happy, but I do enjoy having it for the most part. You know?/ Electricity, running water... It is nice if you can appreciate it and be happy even if you have "stuff". Shelly lestans (10975) [2007-11-04 7:07] She was smiling at you, sure! You looked like a friend, not as a thief of portraits. So the shy young woman smiled looking down, also if her life is so hard Livia brandstaetter (5362) [2007-11-04 7:07] Hi George, she´s so shy, it´s charming ! I like the grainy look of this nice composition. Your note adds also much value to it, it completes the scene perfectly. Cheers Christian pracas (511) [2007-11-04 7:11] Hello, Nice composition... and a good expression captured... vivid colors... the yellow in the frame is bit distracting... mesutilgim (19015) [2007-11-04 7:51] Hello George, Wonderfull capture ! Very good pov and nice compo. Nice colors and good light management. And the message : "İt's not necessary to be rich, to be happy" ! She is seemingly happy. TFS and best regards MESUT ILGIM TopGeo (8103) [2007-11-04 7:51] Hi George!,,,a portrait of natural beauty and good reception. The smile and second plan of are beautifully your scene,, You congratulate also you greet,,Excellent shot! Bravo Georgios nicol_g (454) [2007-11-04 8:01] Hehehe, lovely smile, George - it comforts my heart :). Interesting work of desaturation here, I quite like the effect: provides a special atmosphere and allows the girl to stand out - good contrast with the red of her blouse (and speaking of red: that's one detail I love here: the red nail polish on her little finger :) ). Kind regards. Dragonheart (8311) [2007-11-04 10:03] Dear George, Excellent shot and you have caught the beautiful emotion! I love when people smile. Excellent composition and framing. A master's shot. Thanks for sharing Best regards Vivek Traczewska (4517) [2007-11-04 11:24] W grudniu po raz pierwszy pojade do Stanow.. wszyscy mowia mi, ze przewrazliwienie na punkcie "ochrony wizerunku" jest tak wielkie, ze nie uda mi sie zrobic zadnego zdjecia.. moze wiec powinnam pojechac do Peru? Tu, kontakt z modelem wydaje sie idylla.. a moze tylko dla niektorych.. tych z najlepsza nawijka Jurku?? Hehe.. z pozdrowieniami, Agnieszka adelune (714) [2007-11-04 11:44] Yes, so lucky! The photo herself is lucky! TFS a so good shot George, alain AmiBe (19364) [2007-11-04 11:52] Hi George, funny story, fantastic smile and gesture. I'm not sure about the colors... for me they add nothing. I've tried a b/w workshop. rgs Paul65 (1176) [2007-11-04 12:29] Witaj Jerzy! Bardzo dobry portret. podoba mi siê jak pracujesz obiektywem ukazuj±c najwspanialsze momenty z ¿ycia tych ludzi. Booz (9042) [2007-11-04 22:38] ech te Wasze strzelanki :) - uwielbiam ta rzeczywistosc emocji na takich zdjeciach - ani grama wymuszonego zachowania z powodu obiektywu.. super Pozdrowienia Tomek bantonbuju (40997) [2007-11-05 0:29] a tutaj wszystko jest takie fajne, nie tylko ten uśmiech, ale też i uśmiechnięte sznurki na pranie, i czerwień jednego paznokcia figlarnie łącząca się z czerwienią bluzki, i ultra jasne tło gdzieś tam w oddali (już widzę purytan, którzy piszą o przepaleniach i innych takich tam bzdetach...)... wielka sprawa, to zdjęcie... pozdr. j. (jezdem...:-) eleparc (23952) [2007-11-05 1:09] Hi George, you've got a pretty hilarious note;-) and to be honest, when i first read your title my brain read Helene, not hehehe! Isn't it strange!? I quite like the grainy side of this shot and its franck colors coming out of a pretty burnt BG. Maybe she was laughing out of shyness? or taking the mickey out of you maybe?? hehe! Eric elmec (12182) [2007-11-05 1:10] Witaj Jurku! Bardzo podobaj± mi siê Twoje porterety, sa takie prawdziwe, a fotografowani ludzie zawsze w woim naturalnym otoczeniu! To buduje pe³niê klimatu! Gratulujê! Pozdrawiam! bostankorkulugu (19974) [2007-11-05 3:14] i thought hehehe was indian at first... well either she is indian or peruvian she's got a beautiful smile for sure, so sincere and innocent... but wh is down there? her brother, sister? son, doughter?... i hope she always smiles, not only for white men with cameras... a masterfull shot george, and perfect note to go along with it... i love the way you see the world... korkut ktanska (10392) [2007-11-05 3:56] Hi George, Lovely, shy smile. And note that so well transfers the feeling. Good framing. Drying laundry gives a daily life atmosphere well. Kari brevbrev14 (18531) [2007-11-06 0:57] Hi George, fantastic image.. the contrast and the touch of red is fantastic..but what i love here is the smile, the neverending smile of this girl...so happy... the grain works perfectly.. ciao! Valeria Floydian (20363) [2007-11-06 1:13] Hi George, She looks shy isn't it ;-) It's her pose and smile that makes the scene, but even the laundry plays an important role in the final image. You note gives us an idea that even George can be prince charming ;-) Take care, Henk prantik (1124) [2007-11-06 9:34] I think the red is very essential here (the shirt, nail-polish and the lone bead in the bangles). The original works better for me than the WS. This is my favourite among your recent protraits. Best P			PeruPeru Meet hehehe Polonaise (5638) *
