habesha again, a photo from Tigray, North

Photographer's Note

Just a second view of the girl I posted yesterday.

a girl in a mountain hut, extremely poor village on the mountain trail. In the night it is freezing cold, and in the day there are hundreds of flies outside and inside their rough shelters. Those people hardly can afford fuel for their fire at night, cos this is is national park and it is illegal to cut most of trees. In this village, unlike most of Simen, they are Muslim.

Fine, intense portrait. I like the girl's glace, and the shadow on her cheek. Good details of the lips, very good contrast. Great work

Just superb... her expression in her eyes... her beauty... her sensual lips... you captured her essence amazingly. Incredible portrait, also on TL.
She could be a living Nefertiti.

A picture of how the original black Egyptians of ancient Egypt looked. Nice close up.

Hello Swiatek.

I agree with everyone else: excellent color and contrast.

Despite the indigities upon her and her people, she still exudes a beauty that transends her present situation. On this image and the one prior, you capture both perfectly! As one poster said for the first "habesha," definitely National Geographic quality!

Thanks for sharing!
