Hi everyone!

Returned from Laos, Cambodia and Thailand a little while ago... Beautiful places outside of the tourist traps. Here are a few portraits I got. Any C&C much appreciated!

    #1 is simply precious! Love the light and her expression. Very, very nicethumb.gif

    #4 I love tight crops when they work and this one works very well for me. We know what his hair is doing - adding more doesn't add to the information in the photo. This portrait is all about his deep gaze. Love it!

    #5 This is what I like - a woman of age and experience who is proud of the fact rather than attempting to hide and camouflage it with makeup, etc (OK, end of soapbox). I can just feel this lady has something to share.

    Thanks for all the comments guys :) Glad that you like the pics...

    Personally no. 1 is my favourite. You may not be able to tell but she's just dropped her apple and her gaze is hoping that I didn't get the photo!

    May have some more to share if they once I get around to editing the rest.

    Thanks a bunch :)
