Ayu, a photo from Bali, Nusa Tenggara

Photographer's Note

Her name is Ayu means beautiful, fourth grade in elementary school. She was helping her family, fisherman, when I met her at this place .

She is a little bit late for her age (11) to be in the fourth grade, but still lucky to be able to go to school. But she is very bright kid, very curious what I photographed, and very eager to show me around.

Hi Cessy, A very nice close up portrait. The picture is very clear and detailed. You have perfectly used the natural light.

This is a very nice portrait, Cessy... I plan to go in Bali this year and hope I could do such pictures and with a new camera...
The colors are fantastic and your framing is very good!

Cessy see certainly is beautiful. I love the tight framing of her face that lets us see her so well. Also a great catch having the natural sunlight cast a warm glow here. The sharp focus on her face and blurry background works well. Nice shot.

Nice job.
