Great capture Laurent! She certainly looks happy. BR Patrick

Patrick...Thank you;Indonesians as a rule are happy and welcoming people and this is especially true of those living in rural area.This shot is a crop of a scanned print I posted some time ago and what it lacks in sharpness is compensated fully by the generous laugh this lady gave me.Salutations-Laurent
