This Peruvian/Incan cute girl is from Maras village ...... remember Salt Mines? She is one of the kids of the workers there.

After coming back from the Salt Mines, she just popped infront of me. Curious, looking at my camera, and lens. She came so close to me, and looked into the lens ... and I cliked her.

With kids ... soft focus always go so well. Her curious look, beautiful eyes, and natural smile .... beyond compariosn to anything.

PS: More pictures of her with her sister are in workshop. Please have a look at the same.

a good personality shot of a child who is happy in a world we can criticise
lovely colours and pose
you seem to have done something to the face regarding focus and sharpness..since the clothing and wall look ok...personally i like sharp and lucid childrens eyes and to look like pools of water
i tried a workshop but the artifacts were there before me
cheers
geof

well done

Vandana..WOW! What to say.. I just came from my work .. switched on the computer and yours was in the Gallery.. I enlarged it and watched it ..I hoope it is ok I even made a copy to send to my granddaughter Alicia in Montreal. What a power has this photo..
To 'see' a photo like this in 'the street' takes skill, and that my dear is what you have enlarged the last weeks. Your PP is fantastic! The color of the frame is the same and gives it a wide extent!

To be honest..I realy think we see her the best Vandana Photography photo till now .. this is your candiate for President ^__^
Did understand you are one of the TL friends Lucbus
and I are going to meet in Toronto December 27-28
and I am looking forward. Also my wife likes gives you a compliment we are both looking now!

Our respected Pablominto made a VERY good critique ..he sees things like this also right on the spot!

Big hug for this one ^__^ your friend;

John T

Hi Vandana

Wonderful portrait of this cute Peruvian kid. A little soft, but I like the tilt of thge head & tight framing. Looks like she wants 2 front teeth for Xmas!

Oh my God Mrs cute Bajikar Ohh this is a jewel, not of the Nile but the Andes! Varandana I love it, your fame will be known even in the Vatican, mark my words. (are you catholic?) Take care
Roberto

How expressive!
You just ream my mind with your bold text part. I confirm the text... Look so natural with nice expression and the curiosity in the eye is evident :)
Oups! Almost pass the Workshop... Let see...

I agree again for the looking natural..
It's funny... They just continious and you take your time, not interupt them to select good shots and it's perfect in my mind to do that :)

hi vandana!

Hello Vandana!!

Missed quite a few shots despite numerous hours on TL (^_^). Among those , this cute little girl. Personnally , I prefer a little sharper focus. Nevertheless, her expression here is so well captured. Good composition and very neat presentation Vandana .
Well done !
Robert

PS . I added her in my theme: Favorite smiles from Children of the world.

Beautiful portrait!!!
