window to the heart, a photo from Kalimantan Barat, Kalimantan

Photographer's Note

a very cute girl I met on my trip to West Borneo, in a small Dayak-Tribe village.

Eyes, are the windows to the heart.
Can't we tell how pure she is?

So strange, nobody give score to this picture?
TE is unbelievable website; too many times the score are not related to the quality of the picture but to the "chatting ability" of the people that post they shot.
I think you have passion and attitude to this kind of human pictures and this one is a good witness of your ability.
Beautiful eyes, nice crop of the image and I like also the dark vignette to focus more on the eyes.
My compliments.

Hi Mona
I like the close crop with good expression and sharp eyes. All are nice, although I feel that increasing slight contrast and sharpness will out just fine. You have stunning detail in the eyes the centre of attraction, which are really wonderful as is the strong eye contact. The shot is really well timed and a lovely moment. Good placement of the eyes allowing a bit more space on the right, this would make the shot even stronger. The penetrating eyes are mirrors to the soul! This is good portrait and well capture, Congrats. Warm rgds

Hello Mona,

You did a fine job to capture this little girl so directly. You are right about the eyes, they are the character, the mood, the expression, also. Your focus is right on them, with excellent detail.
The close crop prevents anything distracting the viewer.
I like this.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Ouch, this is so close it almost hurts. Very powerful shot, but those eyes...wow! And she does look so very, very tired...

Selamat pagi Mona Lisa
This is a very artistic portrait, piercing eyes gazing at you are impressively captured with an excellent framing in ambient light.
