Namaste Henk,
je viens de decouvrir votre superbe gallerie d'images grace a celle ci. C'est un tres beau portrait, simple et avec des belle couleurs. L'expression de la dame est excellente, on la salut egalement.
Amities

Hallo Henk,

Ik ben onder de indruk van dit portret. Ze straalt zoveel uit...indrukwekkend. De frame valt me goed mee - ben ook een voorstander van frames :-)

Groetjes,

Nathalie

I love this portrait and above all the woman's attitude behind the camera. It looks that she is in the middle of a bending movement towards you. Very expectant. Technically it is perfect with an excellent DOF choice and good colors captured. The skirt is particularly beautiful.

Very funny note, Henk!
:)
Good capture, with good OOF BG! You must have been quite close to get that effect (and with a wide angle lens...). The flash fill in is REALLY good, almost unnoticeable! I like also the hand gesture, the closed fist which for me feels like determination to get what she wants (which is a bit contrastic with her face humble expression)
:)
Well done!

Hi Henk,
V. good story telling ;) Technically near-flawless portrait. Good frame & focus. Lovely contrast of bright colorful dress with the duller background. Perhaps you can blurr the background more? But rest works well. Good job again :)

A wonderful and very intense portrait, Henk!
Her pose and expression are great.
Did you use a little fill-in flash here?
The old Eos 1 is great in flash technique,
for family-photography I only use the Eos 1 together with a EZ 430 and I´m very satisfied with this toestel.
Gr,
Hermann

Wow Henk, her expression is just wonderful and the colors are great. I like the frames by the way and I think you can still see them alright at 650 px. Tali

There must be a lot of stories written in the lines of her face, Henk! I like her foward-leaning pose, like she wants to tell us more secrets. Ideally the setting for the shot would be more revealing about how she lived, but it's still really good. Regards, Ken.

Dag Henk
Bizarre maar indrukwekkende foto. Haarscherp met mooie zachte structuur op de achtergrond.
Een foto die mij raakt en dat is voor mij kunst!
Groeten,

Hi Henk,
It always gives the "cameraman" great pleasure when the subject is prepared to give its cooperation - you received it fully here. A lovely image and portrait strengthened by the womans simple but attractive attire. She has a very ancient and wizened look...like Yoda from the Starwars movies....maybe my imagination is running away with me!Nice and sharp down to the wrinkles on her face...well composed with good pose.Perfect!
Regards, David

Funny, I thought I'd critiqued this when you posted it, must have been a server error. Anyway, quite a sensitive observation, the straight shot letting her personality come through.
