Hi Caleb,
Great to see you're back from yet another trip and being active again. Looking forward to see of your wonderful interesting portrait shot. This yet another really nice shot, it has your style all over it, the main charactor, supporting character, and the backdrop is the different country in some hummble little place. Technically notthing to pick on. Just enjoying it.
Way

Caleeeeeeb!!!!

Where have you disappeared? I miss your contributions since a long while! And I am happy to see you back (but is that sure?)
I like very much the nostalgic feeling that comes out from the shot, through the expression of the woman, through the soft colors and specially the grey, that, along with the simplicity of the place, gives a sweet-sour mood. but about the composition, I would see it a little differently. I made a WS to show you my idea.
Congratulations!
Hugs
Marine

I hope you will not let us without a sign of life so long time from now!!!

Hey Caleb, I'm glad you're back to post a photo!! I hope you will go on!

I like the perfect balance of colors in your photos! No over-sat, no abberations. Just perfect white balance.

I'm not so sure about the workshop. It is a good try, but it loses the context which is always so important in this type of photo. Actually, I think you went for the perfect crop. You need the man on the left, but if you had it completely, the double portrait would lose its importance. No, you went for the perfect compo in my opinion.

see you,

Marc

Hi Caleb.
Like the others, I wondered where you had gone. Good to see you back with a very fine photo.
I like the very natural colour and poses in this one, plus the strong perspective of the view between the tables.
Sharpness is great and the exposure is nothing fancy but shows the subjects in a convincing way.
Great work and hope to see more of your portrait style work.
Regards,
Andrew

Hi Caleb,
Beautiful potrait, their faces are beautiful and make me curious with the artful circles on them. I like the type of eateries and tea houses in SE Asia, the food is often great and cheap and it is a chance to mingle with the locals.
Cheers
Justin
