Thank you all for your comments. This is one of my favorite portraits I have in my collection from around the world: Pure expression of joy, from the heart. In my portraits folder I have posted long time ago another treatment of the same photo with some additional information about it. Karl

good and fun.  Thanks for showing it.

The large bridge over the Yarkhun river collapsed some months ago. The locals just finished building a temporary bridge. Now they hope to get some donation. Who could resist?

This portrait is absolutely exquisite. It stands out powerfully. However, the series of portraits in your portfolio is equally magnificent, and IMHO, having a bias towards BW (my photographic beginnings), I find this series delightful and grabbing. Congratulations on the technical details (sharpness, DOF, et. al.) but mostly for the candidness of the subjects. A superb compilation​. Congratulations. DG
