Portrait of an Old Woman, a photo from Nakhon Pathom, Central

Photographer's Note

An old woman selling fruits at the market.

I took this photo in Damnoen Floating Market in Thailand, the most famous floating market in Thailand. Seeing this old woman was irresistible, selling bananas in the shade of a small wooden bridge.

Hi Albert,

it could have been a great portrait. Why ? Because too much sharpness that gives an unnatural effect, almost plastic. I know plastic surgery is fashionnable and women look like wax nowadays but please, less sharpness would have give more emotion and reality.
The second thing which is not good is the use of the flash (even you didn't mentionned it) that enhances this "wax effect".
Sorry for being honest but this woman deserved something more natural like her wrinkles that make her so beautiful ...

Regards

Fred
