"Namaste"

I was visiting the elderly home in Kathmandu, impressive place to be. So many beautiful people and faces.
She was about 1 meter 50 high, and was slowly approaching to me and whisperd only; Namaste, Namaste, Namaste...
I gave her my biggest smile and was showing my camera. A big smile in return and she said again...Namaste.


Any comment is more than welcome..!!


P.S:
A lot of people ask me about the frames i use.
Well, they are there for two reasons.
First, because i like them ;-)
Second, because i don't want to upload 800 px photo's.
A lot of my pictures are stolen in the past from other websites and were used without notification or payments, so i will not upload any larger than 650 px. Hope you all understand and find the frames and extra plus to the picture, although i have to admit that it is a matter of taste ;-)

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.

hi henk,
great portrait, excellent DOF choice and good colors .
did you took this photo at pashupatinah ?
i have been there and I could'nt take any photos I was too impress.

didier

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 :)

Cheukhin

Hi Henk,
nice shot again, I like her expression.
Technically it's very good, colors, DOF, focus...
She looks very friendly.
Well done

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,
luc

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

very nice image Henk. what a curious face! well done!

Namaste Henk, very nice portrait of this woman..she has a beautiful smile...good light and color...well done..TFS...
Marilyn

Namaste Henk - lovely light on this simple but delightful compo, she looks very engagign with you.

What a bummer having your photos stolen - some people have no scrupels.
BTW: are you plannign to come down to Rotterdm for the big TE meeting in May?
You are very welcome!
Elaine

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.

Namaste,
Interesting woman Henk,
Superbe lightning and colors
Background works very well.
Nice shot again,
Oscar
