Photographer’s Note

She's one of those girls who sell bracelets, etc. in front fo the Angkor Wat. With a very soulful face, she glanced up to the sky with so much hopes and optimism. I was very lucky to have my camera and to have captured this beautiful expression.

Picture was converted to this color using Variations tool in Photoshop CS.

Beautiful portrait. Very natural smile and this one is original. As you said her hopes reflect in her eyes brightly. A very interesting note. The color tone is nice. TFS.

très beau portrait! touchant & sincère... la conversion en + ou - sépia apporte une atmoshpère peut-être plus douce que le noir&blanc...

Hola Manuel.
As usual a good portrait with nice light. The sepia tone works well in the photo and the composition is very good.
She, descentered, with shining eyes and a lovely expression in her face, her hands,... she makes the photo. And her eyes especially.

Regards.

Hi Manuel
The sephia toning played well with this portrait shot. The impression of this little girl makes a warm and dramatic feeling, while the hand holding the bangles and smilling are so nice to see.
What a great shot, Manuel.
Cheers.
