Photographer's Note
Chinese love red color,
which just like Russians love green,
Germans love Yellow..
red color is a symbol of good luck in China.
everywhere you can see the bright red,
red colourful national flag, red lantern,
red wedding dress, red firework, red couplet...
so it is not very curious when a Chinese
meet a Chinese kid in red overall,
which even in the common sight.
but for the foreigners, they usally would
look equally excited as them.
They would even love to kiss them
on the red apple face,
and then say :" so lovely, so lovely...
this is Chinese kid."
maybe untill at the time we Chinese would
suddenly realize, oh, yes,
Chinese kids are really lovely with the red!

Hi Mingfang,
Nice portrait of the Chinese girl. And very natural and emotional notes.
I only wish the photo was taken in more light, either natural sunlight or by firing flash.
And it would also be nice to have the picture bigger with the frame narrower.
In any case, nice portrait. Thanks for sharing,
Regards
bnallama

I knw a Mingfang picture a mile away (hnest!). I no longer need to read your name to know it's you, your style is so strong ans so unique.
Beautiful framing here with the girl thrust frward almost out of the frame towards us. Superb, saturated colors too.
Bravi again!

Mingfang bonsoir - splendid portrait of this little cute model - nice colors, tones and compo - be careful with your shadow on the model (but it's not a big problem)
Well done
My best wishes to you and your family for 2006

I must join the Chinese then with my love of the color red. Maybe I'm secretly Chinese. No..that's unlikely..I would have noticed by now ;)
What a sweet little girl. The precious little flowers in her hair and her wonderfully red coat..oh, I just love it. She has this curious, but reserved expression. Great compo with the girl leaning in the frame and the wires coming from behind her. Good work.

I agree with Francis, there's something of a MingFang style, not speaking about the frame but the very specific colors you use, bright reds and cold blues, and something that's popping out of the screen, also the stro,g composition lines you like to include into your images. The fun thing is that you're using your excellent 40mm lens like it was a wide angle... in a few words what we can call style.
While it's very true that red color is always associated with China, I didn't know russians liked green... I must be russian then...

Hi Lovely framing, striking red custom.
From the pov, funny to see how the electrical cable seem to be part of her. Nice look ;o) !

非常美麗的portrait! 這張照片的顔色我給滿分！十分鮮艷的紅色啊！我也很喜歡這個微微地blurred的soft touch效果．
再見！

Mingfang,
Very nice to see your photos again... I've been away for a while.
This is a beautiful image. It is robust (the colour, the closeness of the shot) and subtle at the same time (the things in the background that give it a "daily life" feel).
Really nicely done. I will have to look at all your pictures that I've missed while I was doing other things (I started posting again just tonight, the first time since October).
Best wishes,
Lee

Hi Mingfang,
I like the colors and her expression. Her red clothing is nice, and I like the depth that the wires give. The slight tilt of her also adds more interest IMO and I like your border against it all. Thanks for sharing!

Rahul

Very strong photo! I like how it's a little tilted... or maybe the girl was a little tilted? And of course the colour is gorgeous. Also I like the expression on her face, and her pose.
