"Growing up fast". H'Mong village children. Thailand border with Laos on Mekong river nr. Chiang Khong, Huay Xai.

Lovely and poignant. BD

Thank you for your interest and kind remarks.

Personally, I love this picture and have it enlarged on my wall. Sadly, I don't feel I'd cope with putting it into the critique forum!

Nice to have some positive feedback though.

Thank you

Claire: It is indeed, a wonderful photograph. You shure can be proud of it.

It's a beautiful photo. A full range of tones...it's unbeliveable that is a travel shot and not a studio composition. Did you processed it a lot?

This is pure and simply the shot as it is. No clever processing, just a fraction of saturation on PS - quite RAW really. So much so, that I wish I'd have given her more space to breathe in her surroundings. Guess it was quite a lucky capture. Thanks for your comments and for taking the time to look closer.

Thank you

A portfolio review would also be much appreciated ;)

why the central composition? It makes the image quite ordinary. cheers Jana

Thanks for your view Jana.

 

This was literally a point and shoot spur of the moment shot with no time for composition. I did not want to catch the girl straight back at me so this is what I got instead.

 

Regards

excellent and clear travelfoto, the two expressions are loveley !!

Perfectly captured and presented

 

All of the best

What a wonderful picture. You captured their emotion so well. I love the colors too.

A heartbreaking image beautifully done. This is a special shot, one that should elicit great praise and deep sorrow.

Thank you.

 

Indeed, it is the image that makes me most proud - One of the few I have had enlarged, framed and hangs pride of place.
