Her Eyes #2, a photo from Phnum Penh, West

Photographer's Note

A protriat of children in the dumping area, Steong Meanchey. These children are innocent and full of joy in their lives. Their smiles make me happy and smile with them along. Her eyes attracts my attention, plus her overall facial expression. Taken in colors, and then converted into BW.

Good colour conversion. Her face is indeed full of inocense and joy. It seem that these children enjoy life whatever possible way they can. The portrait is very good and the look in her eyes seem to have a spark looking at the lens. THanks Sothy.

This is a beautiful portrait shot, Sothy.
The little girl's eyes are just incredible. Very nicely framed.

Hi Sothy, I haven't seen your photos recently but this one jumped out of the gallery. Great shot, nice tight composition and very sharp. B&W works well here. Cheers, Steve

Salut Sothy,
An admirable portrait! And the black&white choice makes it even better! Thanks a lot, this reminds me (as you say) the joy and freedom of the children I met during my (little) travel in Cambodia! It's all in the eyes!
Salutations!
Pascal

Hi Sothy,
Dark tones, really impressive and fits perfectly to your story. Life will be hard on them, but they are not aware....yet.
Excellent choice for b&w, great focus on the right side of her face, perfect sharpness on that part together with the skintones.
Regards, Henk

Me gusta como captas con tu cámara las expresiones de estos niños.
Felicidades por tu galeria de fotos.

hi Sothy,

An innocent, unspoiled and open look. How beautiful you took this one too. Great in b&w and good crop. I like the light on her sheek.

Hi Sothy,
nice portait of the little girl with the beautiful dark eyes. The b+w works well on this.
So you're in Asia? Have a good time.
My holidays in Asia are over again. I wish I could still stay longer.

I said I wasn't too partial to your last "Her Eyes" post but I really like this. Comparing the two, I think it was because the first one had no depth. It was taken straight on where this one is slightly angled.

Perfect composition. Focus right on the eyes (big bright eyes). Great contrast and DOF. Great work.

adores (46979) 2007-06-11 20:34

Hi Sothy!
Another great portrait. You captured her expressive eyes really well. B&W was an excellent option once more.
Enjoy your holidays!
Regards, Anabela

Hi Sothy
I even prefer this one to the previous one it has more contrast, tight framing is excellent and sharpness perfect... She has extremely communicative eyes!
Have a good time in PP
