Sunny Smile, a photo from Sao Vicente, Barlavento

Photographer's Note

And yes, many (most) of them were so pretty... Women of Cape Verde...
----------
In the workshop you may find another version which in fact I like much more...But I decided to post as the main the version which is spoilt - in order to picture you how aperture of f/13.0 or alike can be inappropriate for this type of portraiture)

Ola Jerzy! Wyspy Zielonego Przyladka! Nazwa jak z basni 1001 nocy. Kawa, zapach wiatru, muzyka morna, piekne, usmiechniete twarze. Niezly z Ciebie szczesciarz. Piekny portret. Bardzo pogodny, dobrze nastrajajacy. Przynajmniej mnie. Klaniam sie!

Hi Jerzy,
That's it. A sunny smile, a real one.
How did you resist with all these gorgeous women around you?
Tell me ;-)

Well Jerzy, I like the OV in fact, instead of the WS... first, it's a more open view of her face and smile, and then we have a glimpse of the background of the island... rgds, Daniel

Hi Jerzy,
Not a kind of picture we see often from you, but looking at the light which is nice and warm, it's that smile that got my attention. The tight framing (i like close-up portraits) is very much what i like to see in such a portrait. Skintones with great sharpness is doing the rest here...a very good shot.
Your right about the f13, but here pose here i like better than the ws version.
Regards, Henk
