[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is so different from my other portrait shots. As a matter of fact, I consider this along the category of travel portraits. I don't know her and I just took a chance of photographing her coz I find her so charming and pretty. This picture is also minimally post-processed.

I like her face. The moment I saw her, I wanted to take a picture of her. She was one of the many schoolchildren having a field trip in a temple in Tanah Lot.

Hallo Manny,

I saw your pictures and was impressed by your work, especially your wonderful portraits of people.
This one seems to be perfect. Sharp, colourful, good crop and wonderful model. Her eyes and her laugh are fantastic!

Thank you for sharing,

Jan van den Bos (Bujin, Holland)

Hi

This is a great protrait photograph. I really like how it is zoomed in to focus on her eyes and her smile. The facial expression you have captured is really nice and the eyes are really sharp and detailed, which in my view helps bring more life to the photograph. The colours are also really good and add to the happy theme of the photo.

Hi,

Such a beautiful portrait, perfect !
TFS!

Tell you the truth, Manny, I respect this for the minimal PP work because it reveals your raw skills as a photographer. Beautiful crop and composition, your usual magical DOF and great light. For what was essentially a point-and-shoot, this is outstanding, and far better than most carefully-choreographed portraits. TFS.

very nice portrait, I like it.

I can't take my eyes off the photo. It's really great. The colours, the expression in her eyes, her smile,the flower, the sharpness, the light... everything is perfect

I like this photo Manny. It is clean, luminous and not "worked-out" so much. The dimple on the right side of the mouth is a terrific plus for her.

Manuel,
your work is breathtaking- it's not only that you take pictures of beauty around you, but you have incredible capacity of capturing that beauty in its most clear form. I absolutely admire your posted portrays and this one: WOW!
Sincerely,

Great expression and composition. By the way, I like your Bali photos in Pbase. First time I saw you played around with wide angle. Great work!

Well compose and sharp focus, I can see you through her eyes.Great work.

Very nice portrait, such magic you have captured here in her eyes and beautiful smile... :) we loved Bali when we were there too and pictures like this make us want to go again...

Yes, very charming portrait, well cropped, also. Excellent quality of work.

That smile ...
The capture of beauty, the quality of the shots in intensity, sharpness, contrast of colour the choice of your subjects in all your work stir my deep admiration !
THANK YOU

The way you capture the beauty of human faces, really impressed me a lot. As a result most of my favourites in TL are your pics.
