My very fit 75 year old porter

No eye cataract and very fit walk up and down the mountain slope daily

carrying a load of 20 kilos or more..

Wonderful shot Alec! .

Alec, very good portrait. Like the cropping,exposure,DOF and her smile.

20 Kilos of YOUR camera gear, no doubt. Looks like trip of a lifetime. Thanks for sharing.

Perfect light and amazing detail, congrats.

TQ Andrea, Jim, Sircar. Michael the cameras, long lenses and tripod all adds up quite a lot. But you should see those guys carrying the sedan chairs. Imagine two slim strong guys carrying a 100 kilo American tourist up the mountain (2625 ft) for US$30. It's a steal but I managed to walk up myself, good exercise. ^_^

Excellent portrait Alec . The composition , light , colors and DOF are all perfect . Bravoooooo

TQ Alon

This is a lovely portrait of this elderly yet very lively woman, imagine she was your Porter.  Her eyes do have a beautiful sparkle. The scenery in the DOF is stunning Alex. I'm very taken with this one.  Kind regards, Gail
