portrait The Shepherd

On my way to take bird photos in open nature i met this  shepherd lading a big goat and lamb herd.that made a huge cloud of dust. I was sure shy wo'nt let me  take her picture.

surprising she smiled.not a usual gesture.....i liked this  portrait,i hope you like it too.

Thank you all for looking and comments.

It is an excellent image.The smile is timid but genuine and the blurry background has just enough definition to outline her work.Your selection of crop is very effective.Bravo!

This is brilliant. First a superb portrait by any standard. Lighting and dof is spot on. Whats even more stunning is the expression you caught.

I will not tire you with what I read into the image - I just love it.

Yes, I agree. This is a brilliant portrait, perfectly composed with the subject off-centered position and great eye contact.

For me this one is really a splendid image!
