Madonna from Shashukul Photo

Photographer’s Note

same girl as yesterday the day after... this time i shot the photo while we were leaving the house to drive back to Leh.
It was on august 15th, hence my title, and we came across some local festivities on our way back. maybe i 'll post some ladakhi women in local traditional outfit... How about that Claude? or Vijay?

Nice background. I like the diagonal and the distinct color of blue and brown as a way to frame this face.

the backround is little strange,
on my screen it looks like drawing

salu Eric
techniquement c'est une réussite, avec un arrière plan à plusierus centaines de km derrière le visage de la femme.
j'aime la lumière sur son visage qui adouçit ses traits.
ce n'est pas le meilleur de tes portraits car il ne dégage pas le petit plus qui fait la différence.

Hi Eric;

I realised I had missed a couple of your most recent postings...
I really like the composition of this one mate. Even with the sun shining stronly on her face, you managed to capture the detail on her shady side. Well done.

Cheers!

Joli brin de fille, commentaire un peu sexiste.. non, mais j'aime bien ce portrait.. Comme je te l'ai déjà dit, j'ai l'impression de la conaitre, comme de nombreux Ladakhi...
salut francine pour moi demain...

I think that everything about portraying is about a good lighting and a flawless background... even more importantly than the expression of the subject...

Here I like how the simple diagonal oriented background helps the reading down to her face -fortunately offcentered, I'm not really fond of centered subjects - also a good side lighting which emphasizes textures and volumes.
