indonesia 01-festive Traditionnal dancer!

Very flat flash lighting which is okay for a record shot of what she is wearing but has no artistic value as a interesting portrait. This expression is okay for a passport photo or id photo but for artistic merit you have to bring something else out in her expression so that the viewer will want to study and admire it for more than a few seconds. I gave you a 3---keep working at it and good luck.

Nice of you to take the time to comment.Although a rating of 3 is somewhat disappointing,I guess you must be right as the intent of this shot at the time,15 years ago,was to record the attire of guest artists at a traditionnal wedding. I would just add to set this in the proper context that this happening was late in the day,near and past sunset in a village with no electricity with candles as the main light source and the fill-flash on the camera for the photo.
