Ciao Mona Lisa,
looks like a face so sad and not happy about her life, very nice colors and exposure, very good sharp and light management...
have a good day...

Hi There Mona Lisa,
You have framed this well, and the light perfectly illuminates the central character. There is something rustic, something apart I sense in SE Asia (and anywhere in the world for that matter) that we do not see so much in the more modern big cities there - there is another life, a daily struggle, but a rustic one. This is quite beautiful in many ways.
Cheers
Justin
