Another Himba. Her inquisitive and wrinkled look makes me wonder what she's wondering about. She sat like this for almost 5 minutes.

Great capture of the indicisive expression. I love the skin color blended with his head and neck ornaments. The head dress looks like heads of chicks chopped off, kinda scary...

Very impressive picture and very impressive character. Ilike the brown skin and tones. I like the effect of the time on her face.

It was a long introseption thinking...
But what a picture it result!
Of course i don't know everything of Africa.
But that style of dressing with natural element is incredibally fashionable! I think i would find a good website to learn about it...
I mean perhaps there is a signification or a practical reason :)
But i like that style :)

Hello Edwin,
Great portrait! You've captured so much detail and a remarkable expression on her face. She definitely has a lot on her mind!

may the good light be with you,
kc

Prachtig, krachtig; een gelooide huid. Alleen die hand al is een prachtig vorm.
Goed werk Edwin
Bedankt

Similar brown tones are amazing.. Very good details of the face and also her accessories. DOF is perfect, face is sharp and the background is blurry. Perfect portrait!
Elif

this is a very good and interesting shot, the hair is really an amazing mass of mud . like the look very well done.
Christine.

This is a fantastic capture Edwin,
The colours are superb. excellent detail and sharpness.

TFS. enjoy the rest of the week.

this is how a portait should be imo
very sharp and a lot of details
really a top shot

The first thing I said when I saw this photo was "WOW"! Perhaps she is wondering about the hard life that she has led. I certainly wonder about her life and that of the other adults in your photos.

This is an amazing shot.

Bonsoir Edwin
Il y a quelques grands portraits dans votre galerie, plein d'émotions, comme celui-ci , et uniquement des images de qualité. Beau travail.
Antoine.
