Photographer's Note
A shot from rural Cambodia along with the previous one. She was playing with other chioldren in the village, and while she was walking she saw me taking picture, and then she looked back to my camera, and here it is. Shot in raw format.

Her expression together with the lovely bokehed background make this a step up from just another child portrait.

Hi Sothy,
She is a beauty, no doubt about that, and thanks to her so is your image:) The bokeh with the green tone works well with her innocent looks.
With Greetings from India

Dear Sothy,
The angle of view, her eye expression and bushes of hair were in a well composed mix. Great photo.

Hi Sothy,
Wonderful picture you got here. So natural. Just that one glance when seeing you, just before someone can really think about smiling or any emotion. The background in really strong. Green is a good colour in combination with her skin tones and nicely out of focus. Great!
Greetings, Dennis

A very lovely portrait, great facial expression and perfectly placed in the frame. Dof is well done, although that bright area is a little bit distracting, but her eyes are worth a million...great work Sothy, good work.

Hi Sothy,
Believe me, I’m not telling you this because you’re from Cambodia, but I think Khmer people are the most beautiful persons I’ve met while traveling. Of course, they have beautiful facial features, wonderful smiles, but most of all, they possess a unique inner beauty. I’ve encounter the nicest people while in Cambodia and I hope to return soon.
Your photo is a good example of these nice young fellows, curious and smart. I like the originality of your composition and the great bokeh you have achieved. Her expression is spontaneous and I think it reflects her childhood cuteness.
Best regards,
André

This is one of the most beautiful photos from Cambodia, and one of the best from your camera as well.
Hope you have great summertime back home with your relatives. I already missed the wonderful and unique taste of Kandal's mango ;o)

Look at her face, brilliant. Man your portraits are very good Sothy. I think I have one and would love to take some but feel daft walking up to a stranger and ask them if they don't mind me taking there portrait. Can do it in a studio no problem Oh well, any suggestions would be welcomed, honest.
