Balinese smile, a photo from Bali, Nusa Tenggara

Photographer's Note

Balinese people is very religious, they pray every day to the temple either at family temple, village temple, work temple or big temple.

On the way to the salt farmer place, we saw some people were going for praying in the small temple by the beach. I caught the smile of this beautiful girl, I hope you like it.

thanks

Hi Cessy, What a happy face you have captured here. Good focuse, nice details and excellent color contrasts. You have had all the details of the picture. Each string spread from the plate on her head is visible clearly. An well taken picture.

Hi Cessy, a beautiful shot of a beautiful woman. She has a great smile and you captured it to perfection. Also the wild array of color really stands out in this pic. I see the Tamron is very clear even at 300mm, very nice! Impressive shot Cessy.

You really captured this lady at a decisive moment, Cessy. Its just first class. The clarity, the smile, the colour and the ceremonial aspect all render this a most impressive shot under any category. I like how you have cropped and framed it as well. The vertical presentation is highly appropriate. Well done indeed. Regards.
