Wonderful portrait Caleb,there isn't anything in this photo that I dislike, full of humanity and context, colours are great, the image seems to be taken in mid-day, yet my first impression was that it was a morning sun due to good warm colours.

Really good work.

Caleb!
These are the real Akha villages I believe...the ones in North Thailand mere tourist holes!
The portrait has a candid nature, as she doesn't look at you. Wonderful situational portrait, with the surroundings, especially the village playing a vital role
Withing you & your dear ones the very best for 2012. Hope to see lots more of your fantastic shots in the coming year!
Best Regards
Angshu
