Hello Elaine,
Excellent portrait in b&w of the young girl.
The thanaka was not only applied to the cheeks but also to the forehead and nose.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Elaine,

This is an excellent portrait and works so well in b&w. WE are aware of the nuances of light and shadows and slightly different shades.

You have captured this moment of contemplation perfectly and fitted the girl very neatly into the frame.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Elaine,back in the gallery with this lovely portrait in black and white that seems a metaphore of the bad and dark moments of this country, great capture made in the usual top class and quality! Have a nice weekend and thanks,Luciano

Hi Elaine
Beautiful and appropriate toning for this lovely image. She has a delightful face in that traditional dress and I think you have done justice to this pretty lass. Fabulous portraiture
Best regards

Hi Elaine
Good to see you popping into TE again and a great street portrait to do it with. Good exposure and contrast with those facial markings being perfectly captured.
cheers
Ian

Great portrait of this fascinating woman, good sharpness and focus. Did you black-out the bg afterwards?
