Himalayan princess, a photo from Dhawalagiri, West

Photographer's Note

The picture was taken during one quick stop near Tatopany village on the scenic trek from Pokhara to Jomsom around Annapurna range in Nepal Himalaya. Curious children were helping adults to make corn flour at the water mill. We took pictures of the mill and they looked at us like we were from another planet where watermills were still not discovered. My guess they belonged to Thakali or Gurung Himalayan ethnic groups.

What a young beauty! Incredible eyes. She has a quizzical look on her face. The pose is very informal with her hair blowing i
n the wind.

A very beautifull portrait. The look is very natural and open.

I think some areas of the photo do need some enhancements so I posted a WS to show you the difference. I hope you like this new version.
Still, a great shot and composition!
