Looking Through You, a photo from Uttarakhand, North

Photographer's Note

Tribal Nomadic Women of India do not show their face to unknown men. She was dancing with other women in a festival and her beautiful face caught my eyes. I was about to click her face and she quickly covered it with a lightening speed. I still went for her and could get only her eyes. But I guess they are more than worth the try.
Hope all of you enjoy.
Cheers,
Satyakki

Hi Satyakki

Great portarit shot indeed !
The victory of framing !
Perfect and well considered stable composition / framework, light control, vivid color and quite sharp/clear description in the detail.
You did a great job indeed!
Thanks for sharing and have a good Sunday !
Best regards,
Takero

Hello Satyakki, Under the circumstances an excellent portrait, Those magnificent glaring eyes tell the story. The close crop works well, eliminating any distractions & with full focus on the eyes, the colour is very striking, immediately grawing attention to the image. I have done a WS, I hope you don't mind my intention is not to try & improve it but is only another perspective.

hello Satyakki
This is a strong portrait, well focalised on the vivid eyes, with the orange and blue shawl as frame. I like also the hands gesture.
Cheers

A nice portait I would say. The flash has made the details visible without being too harsh. The way she is looking covering her face but only eyes is quite interesting. Very good Framing.
