This photo was taken in Boracay. I liked Lydia's expression here...rich and full of emotions. Her eyes were as clear as a mirror.

dramatic! great effect, color and all!

My dear Alec, permit me to say that this photo doesn't belong in TL but in Time magazine, in the "Best photos of all times" section.

I won't start telling you all the things that you did right, you know yourself already. Simply breathtaking capture...

Thanks so much for sharing it with us.

ilhan

wonderful portrait..breathtaking

(i forgot points, thats why im back to this pic.)

my first favorite photo. thanks!

Great picture!

Waw, such eyes make me jump into phillpines!
Should be wonderful souvenirs!

The best I have found in Your folio. The reflections in her eyes are amazing. Body cowered with sand gives that portrait more dramatism. For me great, great shot. I think that for photographers from Asia ,especially from Philippines or Maylasya is easy to find fantastic faces with their natural beauty to capture... but it is not only way to succes, I know - everything is in Your hands and Your mind when You starting shooting... The example is You and Manny Libordo.

ice to meet you Alec!!!
