travel 2007 : yunnan, szechuan-china Kid from DanBa

A Tibetian village, DanBa (where we put up the night) child, who is actually singing a song for us when this picture was taken evening time. I have reduced the contrast in the B/W version. Attached the colour version.

Thanks for viewing & feedback.

Very good one !

A fine, sweet portrait. Excellent!

B/W accents better the face and the expression. Lovely capture with perfect DOF Cherlyn.

Instead of counting candles, Or tallying the years, Contemplate your blessings, As your birthday nears.

 

Consider special people Who love you, and who care, And others who've enriched your life Just by being there.

 

Think about the memories Passing years can never mar, Experiences great and small That have made you who you are.

 

Another year is a happy gift, So cut your cake, and say, "Instead of counting birthdays, I count blessings every day!"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO cherlyn . cherlyn . cherlyn ... :)

The expression is great, Cherlyn; really yundecided between the color version and the B&W: they are both strong.

Excellent b/w portrait, dear Cherlyn. The kid's expression is unique. Very good contrast and DOF. Best regards!

Gorgeous portret cherlyn ,looks like good night song .

Cherlyn, very good portrait of the boy,! where is Danba? I like the B/W, as the yellow in the colored one is very intense, takes something from the impression of the boy's face which it better seen in the B/W.imo.

Pnina, DanBa is located in SouthWest China, Szechuan Province, where one of the Tibetian tribe dwells. It was said that DanBa has many Beauties & we were jokingly told by our lady guide that the beautiful ones have left DanBa to other towns to perform as dancers / singers. And by the way, this kid is a girl.

Excellent!!!
