A Brighter Future, a photo from Siem Reab, West

Photographer's Note

a brighter tomorrow...

That is what everyone wish for their kids. That's what the kids wish to achieve.

I took this picture in front of the Angkok Wat. This girl is one of those selling bracelets, books, shawl and what-have-yous.

I wish I can see more smiles in the faces of my co-workers everyday. Maybe this little girl can teach us a little lesson.

Wonderful Composition Manuel. The innocent smile on the yooungster's face is captured very well. Also she is not looking directly at the camera. full points for clarity.

Hi Manuel,
This is a very spontaneous portrait. This pretty girl is very well captured. Moreover the framing tight highlights the wonderful smile and laughing eyes.
Well done. Regards.

Nice bright colors - but i think the best part about the shot is her amazing pose and expression. What prompted her to do that for you? Was she looking up at someone holding a dollar bill?
Regards,
Dave.

Wonderfull smiling eyes, you see a lot of this enthusiasm in the children of Cambodia. They have little but are always willing to share a smile.

Manny you seem to have the uncanny ability/talent to capture "the moment" in your pictures. After going through most of your photos both here and on pbase, I am astounded. I am also 'hooked' - so please dont ever stop posting!

In regards to this photo, its one of my favorites. You've captured her true soul, she's lovely and her smile could topple tyrants.
