Karen Paduang Long Neck Woman (Best View Larger)

Taken in the deep jungle of Inle Lake.

Just a great picture of a women with traditional rudes... 6/7

Perfect capture, very nice composition, best regards.

There is no perfect portrait without connection between the subject and artist. Everything is in her eyes!!Bravo, Maestro.

Perfect photo as always!

Colorful portrait,Alec.Very good exposure,light and tone. So many metal rings around her long neck is a sure sign of a Beauty Queen:-) Can they remove these rings? Excellent device to treat spondilitis.

Alec, this is such a beautifully warm pleasing portrait. Perfectly captured. You inspire many in our little community.

Great capture Alec....

Absolutely top-class, Alec!

Both technically and artistic.

This one may last forever..

Best, Peter

nice work Alec, love the colors and her quiet expression.

Perfect shot,Alec!

Greetings,Jim

one of your finest, Alec! cheers!

Alec, A classically posed head shot with excellent soft but directional lighting for revealing the shapes and textures of her face. Perfect exposure with requisit catchlights in the eyes. Beautifully out of focus & thus undistracting background. Doesn't come much better than this. Do you ever provide your subjects with copies of your best efforts? Bet they'd be welcomed.......anywhere. Best, LM.

Oh my, I had no idea that this was still being practiced. Your image is great, but I'm saddened by the culture that deems this to be a form of beauty. The world is still a strange place.

Thanks for the kind comments guys. Hi Shawn, I don't think the PN members here are commenting on the culture and their practice. Look at it from a photographer's technical and artistic point of view. The lighting, the DOF and the uncluttered BG.

Perfect portrait, so expressive and unique!

Interestig pic like document, perfection resolution of composition.

isn't a natural situation, but it is their culture.

 

Regards.
