Nothing beats a portrait of a little girl.
They are very cute and free spirited little angels.
Banana leaves, surrounded by nature could not be any natural than that.
Preserved with tradition and culture with what she wears, also an added points to make this image a conversation piece.
Very lovely photo.

What a great smile. Little girls from around the world can melt the hardest heart with a smile like this. Your lighting is very good and shows off her pretty face perfectly. The colorful costume she is wearing is gorgeous. The background of the jungle foliage give the scene lots of geographical interest.

A beautifully expressive little girl wearing traditional apparel. Very nice colors and excellent composition. I like the tropical plants in the lower half of the background. Even so I might crop it just below her hands.

The little girl may be shy but she is very cute. The national costume she shows so proudly is so colourful and she must enjoy wearing it with national pride.Well done.

What a beautiful little girl and her smile is precious. You have captured the spirit of a country that in many places still has so little but in many ways is very rich. Very nice composition with a beautiful b/g to showcase this child in her brightly colored top. Great lighting and focus.
