Cambodian Schoolgirl, a photo from Siem Reab, Ouest

Photographer's Note

I took this photo on a school campus in Siem Reap province. What I like about this photo is her strong determined face. School dropout is quite a concern in Cambodia, especially among girls and among those in rural areas where home and school are quite far.

Hi Sothy
wonderful capture.
you said it best in your note, about how her look is that of determination.

And I like how she's looking behind, over her right shoulder, I think that adds alot of interest too. Lots to like about this one. well captured and composed
cheers

Hello Sothy,

This schoolgirl has sweat with fear.
But maybe is everything for a good report.
A nice black and white picture with a lovely portrait.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John

Sabaidee Sothy
What comes over to me is your obvious affection for the subject superbly caught spontaneously - a wonderful innocent face & photogenic even without direct eye contact essentially make the shot work and talk directly to viewers. Mono tone and shallow dof is just perfect without destroying the original integrity of a very tender and good honest photograph. Marvellous shot, Congrats
Best wishes

Bonjour Sothy,

For me this photo is one of the most beautiful I have seen on TrekEarth for a long time...

The composition "rocks", the delicate black&white, the soft blur of the bokeh on the right is atmosferic and the lovely young lady has a gorgeous gaze...
Everything works! Congratulations!

Amicalement,
Viviane

Very expressive portrait,
The composition of this photo is great, and the focus is awesome. Good eye for detail. The expression on her face is very expressive.
A very good portrait with very good detail. Very nicely captured.
