When the lady smiles Photo

Photographer’s Note

Durbar Square (Royal square) is the beating heart of Kathmandu. On this square are no fewer than 50 temples and other religious monuments, most of them no less than 3 or 4 hundred years old. The oldest temple dates from the 12th century.
The square is above all a meeting place. It's an all day coming and going of street vendors, beggars and pilgrims. This lady gave us a memorable welcome on the square with her beautiful smile. Ingrid.

What a great face, what a great smile. I met also such old ladies on Durbar square with so many wrinkles. Amazing.

Hi Ingrid

Great portrait. You really have captured an emotion filled character here. Very sharp with good detail. Focus on the eyes. Well done.

Excellent portrait for this toothless haughtiness! Your framing is sensible and I like this blue dominant which permeate your composition...
Congratulations...

I: it's a small world. I remember distinctly this very diminutive lady - she's very short. Engaging portrait. best, c
