[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Again a striking expression from a Himba. No joy in her eyes. The resemblance in her expression and that from the others is big. Would have loved to have shot one smiling but I'm afraid no oppertunities there for me...apart from the kids. What's going through their collective minds?

Fantastic portrait. Perfectly exposed and so sharp. Wonderful.
Best wishes
Rob :)

Hi Edwin,
Great portrait and very good to take it so closely. You can see the sadness in het eyes and face. I do find the left b/g a tat too bright and claming attention.
TFS,
Niek

Dear Edwin, Exposure+, Composition+, Sharpnes+, DOF+, harmonic colors+! What a portrait! Great work. Yours, Jan

Great portrait Edwin, a sad face indeed, full of toil, baking sun and years of hard labour.
Perfect but sad!
