[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Pictured these Chinese girls dressed in local outfit on a stair while they were waiting to guide tourists trough the wonderful “Stone Forest”. Apparently is the girl with the mirror doubting the result of her make-up. I don’t! She is a pretty looking young women and she shouldn’t doubt at all. Unfortunately a signal from the western world what is beautiful and what is not has come to our eastern friends as well. God forbid!

Stone Forest
Kunming, the capital of Yunnan Province, enjoys great fame among tourists not only because the region features a consistently warm climate, but also thanks to its wonderful vistas and landscapes. Among the most dramatic of these attractions is the Stone Forest (Shilin), known since the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 A.D.) as the 'First Wonder of the World.'
The Stone Forest is in Lunan Yi Nationality Autonomous County, which is about 120 kilometers (75 miles) from Kunming and requires only a three-hour drive. It covers an area of 400 square kilometers (96,000 acres) and includes both large and small stone forests, as well as many other scenic spots. An old local saying says that 'If you have visited Kunming without seeing the Stone Forest, you have wasted your time.' Truly, the Stone Forest is one of the most important attractions of Yunnan.
Walking through the Stone Forest, visitors marvel at the natural stone masterpieces and are bewitched by the intricate formations. The magnificent, strange and steep landscape creates countless labyrinthine vistas. (Text China Travel Guide webside)

Hoi Hans,
Erg mooie foto. De uitdrukking op haar gezicht verteld een heel verhaal. De helderheid in deze foto is super. Het licht en kleuren komen erg goed naar voren. De scherpte is perfect.

Hola Hans.
Una toma que dice mucho de la coqueteria femenina.....no tiene fronteras. Una bonita toma, lástima el cartel azúl por detras de la joven.
Una fotografía que me trae recuerdos.
Saludos.
Una amiga.

Hi Hans,
Very nice, interesting capture, perfect portrait. The title fits wonderfully to the image. TFS, congrats, László

Ik ga het kort houden ...
vind alles prachtig op foto-technisch vlak
behalve de compositie.
Maar ... bij zo'n foto is het click-en-hebbes
of niks hebben.
Dus, bedankt want ik vind ze ook nog grappig !

Groetjes
Jan
