Hi Charlotte, what a charming portrait! Love the big smile on your subject! She definitely looks happy. Looks like it was a little windy that day. Sounds like you had a wonderful time with her. I bet this is a photo you are going to cherish as a wonderful reminder. Love the lighting and the focus! Thanks for sharing her smile with all of us here. Good Luck in the Contest!

Thank you so much Nancy. You?re the only one who?s mentioned the wind, and you?re so right! I was in that area for four days and that wind never once stopped! It picked up the grains of sand and battered us like a sand blaster - so no lazing on the beach, and just walking along it beach combing or for photos was pretty painful, those grains didn?t half sting! Lol

Awesome photograph of your newly found friend with exiting details and natural beauty.
The expression of gratitude and joy is all over her beautiful face and you captured the playfulness so well.
Charlotte, thank you for sharing.

Comment from ElliR
Beautiful !!! The description of the girl's life adds an interesting layer of context to the portrait. The natural bleaching of the girl's hair from the sun, wind, sand, and sea spray, and the visible grains of sand on her face, further emphasizes the raw and authentic nature of the portrait. It's clear that the girl was comfortable with having her photo taken, and the bond that was created between her and the photographer is heartwarming.
The use of minor levels and curves adjustments in the post-production process helped to enhance the overall visual impact of the image. This portrait photography is a beautiful and touching capture of this young girl .

Wonderful capture! This could of been entered into the expressions contest as well because of that smile alone. So much expression Love the details and the wind swept hair. I'd be surprised if this doesn't place. Thanks for sharing.

Charlotte,
A beautiful full face portrait of this young girl from Madagascar, with a smile on her mouth & eyes that lights up her face framed by her beautiful beached by the sun curls. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

This is a very intriguing image; the girl is so vivacious, and the sand on her face indicates her love of the environment, her surroundings there. I enjoyed your narrative regarding her and your interaction much.
