A local in Parapat province, Sumatera

It took her 2 seconds to change her sarong into a head dress. Wow! No

need for a mirror too.

Excelente retrato, perefecta luz, color, gran composicion, belleza de encuadre saludos cordiales Alec.

i prefer bw.in portrait..but it is very beautiful and proper with colors here...congrats.

Beautiful shot, Alec! Best regards, Ruud.

Hehehe... why not a whole portrait then? lol You are a lucky chap, Alec.

A head shot looks better Spencer - more personal. Julio, Akin Ruud, thansk for the kind comments.

Excellent local portrait, nice angle & soft light, great details & full of the colors, good expression & cropping too, Alec, another perfect piece!!! Best regards.

Alec, love how you've zoomed in so close. The composition and her colours are indeed lovely. Nice control on exposure as well. Regards, Kelvin.

such a friendly smile! outstanding use of dof, excellent fresh colours, Alec.

Very nice and original shot Alec.Friendly Mixalis.

Splendid expressive portrait.

You have really captured the soul of this woman, wearing the typical dress and hat.

The kind of shots I like more.

I love the personality that you've captured here. Especially with the story that you told about the sarong. :-) Do you have a photo of her from before the transformation?

Another beautiful soulful portrait to add to your growing collection. So light, airy and joyful. Really nice. The pastel sky is perfect.

Thanks Therese, it's actually the sea, I took this from a higher elevation pointing the camera down at her by the sea as it was a cloudy day. ^_^

Wow, so it is. At first glance it looks like sky with a few distant clouds. In any case the comment stands: the pastel purplish-blue is perfect with the oranges in her clothes.
