Smile of Amber, a photo from Rajasthan, West

Photographer's Note

Surrounded by the desert of Rajastan, Amber Fort near Jaipur is a nice place to visit.

------------------------------------------------------

In this reposted photo, I have tried to take your comments into account by correcting the overexposed areas. I also cropped it and add a new frame.

Do you think it's better? How could I still improve?

Thanks for you help!

ps: just noticed that I forgot the outer black line of the frame... sorry, I can't repost anymore...

Hi Julien

I remember this photo very well actually.
I can recall even trying to workshop it for you, but it was too overexposed and the corrected result still didn't look great.
This one though, is much improved, its still overexposed, evidenced by the light on the broom, but as said, much much better.
the woman, your main subject, is better represented, easier to view.
Thank you for working on it and reposting it!
Have a great day

HI Julien!
I like a lot the wideangle effect here which makes the broom bigger.
Here friendly smile is very nice too and you managed the light very well.

Good evening Julien!

This one definately looks much better then the other one. You almost solved the overexposure problem, although it's effects is still visible on the margins. About the outer black frame, I am glad you forgot it. I like the picture much more this way

Have a great evening
Adrian

The undoubted overexposure of the foreground rather adds to a dramatic effect of exaggerating the colours of the lady's sari. Maybe unintentional, but not unwelcome ! The missing outer black frame just adds to the effect ! Bravo !

Hi Julien!

Beautiful environmental portrait. The corridor and the light make a nice frame to the colourful main subject.

Bonjour Julien,

Superb colours, great subject and such a warm smile.
I don't mind the overexposed white, it even adds a sense of magic!

Great picture, merci pour le partager.
