Smiling girl, a photo from Phangnga, South

Photographer's Note

The Muslims are a small minority in Thailand and most of them live in the southern part of the country. Some of them live in small islands in the Ao Phang Nga National Marine Park. The most impressing thing is that some of these islands are just a vertical rock rising from the sea, upon which are "attached" small stilt villages like the one where this photo was taken, Ko Panyi (population: 2000, very close to the famous James Bond Island). It's a very rare thing to see in Thailand, women with covered head walking in small alleys above the water. I even saw there fishes "walking" on sand, at the hour of ebb (please, believe me!).

While I was walking through the narrow alleys of the village, i saw this beautiful girl standing at the door. At first i wanted to take a close portrait of her, but then i noticed some more details like the man lying on the floor watching TV and the women in the other room cooking. I hope that there's not much "useless" staff in the picture.

Ηρακλή καλό σου μεσημέρι.

Εδώ ίσως να χρειάζεται λίγο sharpness στο παιδί.
Ο εσωτερικός φωτισμός φοβερός και σαν ολική φωτογραφία μ'αρέσει πάρα πολύ.

Φιλικά

Kalispera Hercules.
D駛ame primero decir lo que creo que falla de la foto (las cr咜icas que se suelen leer en TE son siempre del estilo: "maravilloso", "precioso",... y si bien s� que algunas veces me dejo llevar por primeras impresiones, la cr咜ica sincera siempre es m疽 positiva): est�, el chico, ligeramente desenfocado.
Posiblemente mediante un postprocesado esto se podr僘 solucionar.

Pero m疽 all� de esto, no puedo dejar de decir porque me gusta la foto: la naturalidad, la luz y el color de la foto aportan una alegr僘 dif兤il de reflejar en una foto.
｡Un buen trabajo!

Γειά σου Ηρακλή

Αυτή η φωτογραφία σε κερδίζει με την ανεμελιά της θα έλεγα παρά με το στήσιμό της. Δεν νομίζω ότι συμπεριέλαβες "άχρηστο" υλικό. Το να μας δείξεις το εσωτερικό ενός τέτοιου σπιτιού είναι πιο χρήσιμο παρά καθεαυτού το πορτρέτο του κοριτσιού. Αυτή βέβαια είναι προσωπική άποψη...

I am always amazed to see that the first "luxery" thing people buy is a TV ...
Happy picture Hercules and thanks for peaking into a Thai household
