Shy smile Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

J'avais croisé son regard.
J'avais été touché par son sourire délicat.
J'avais montré mon appareil photo.
J'avais scruté sa réaction.
J'avais vu de la timidité, de la curiosité et aussi beaucoup de fierté.
Je l'avais prise en photo.
Je lui ai montré son image.
Elle a éclaté de rire.
Tout le village est venu voir.
J'avais mon portrait.
J'avais surtout fait une belle rencontre.

Hi Bertrand,

this is a graceful portrait. I like her "half-smile". The fact she's looking at you create an intimist atmosphere. Great natural and soft colors and very good exposure. Well done!
Regards,
Carlos

Bonsoir Bertrand,
Elle est très jolie cette demoiselle. Son regard est doux et elle semble en confiance.
Cela a du être agréable pour toi de la voir éclater de rire après s'être vue en photo.
Merci du partage.
Cordialement,
Marianne

Hi Bertrand,
A wonderful portrait, a beautiful girl, but still only a few comments so far, how strange. A pair of big staring eyes, big lips, she looks very beautiful. That green she is wearing is giving great colour contrast in this image. Nice extra detail are those light green earrings she is wearning...very nice.
Regards, Henk

Encore moi Bertrand...
Un sourire timide, je dirai un sourire triste et encore une fois un magnifique portrait d'enfants.
Je ne me lasse pas de ces magnifiques images que tu nous envoies d'Asie.
Merci.
Pierre.

A portrait that i would love to have in my gallery. I really like her green earings matchign her green dress. (I posted a couple of images recently (girl with the pearl earing and girl with the crystal earing) she would certainly fit in the theme. The tree gives that extra texture - only min point I would say that half a shoulder of her friend is a little disturbing.

bonjour,
une tres belle photo de cette jeune fille avec un regard assez expressif, et on peut lire dans celui-ci malgré sa timidité l'émincé d'un sourire et après le rire quand elle s'est vu
tres belle prise

Bonsoir Bertrand,
The portrait is first-rate; she stares at you whith great dignity. Your story makes the portrait even better.

It's nice to be back; my Mom has been ill but she is doing better now.
