Gambian portraits cont...
This little girl was in the nursary class of a tiny school i visited in the shanty town in Bakau, Gambia. I was struck because she looked so much older than the rest of her class (3-4yrs!)
Because of low light,i had to use neat image to filter out noise. Took out distracting blue uniform of other students in top left and by her ear.

Hi Paul, you master Neat Image well ! She still has a very natural (and not plastic) look.

Great portrait !

Good work, Paul, the result is pleasant. Your composition of this young girl is really nice : colours are great and I like her expression, very natural, and her cheerful eyes :)
Take care and thanks for share this lovely portrait,
Martine

Hi Paul,

Great shot here. It's difficult to take good pictures of children, you managed to do great though. Beautifull colors, great composition and nice blurred background.

Well done.

Regards,
Jan
