Photographer's Note
Hΰ Giang is a highly mountainous region, and travel around the province can be difficult. Much of the province is too mountainous for agriculture, leaving much of the land covered by forests. Hΰ Giang's central plateau is good for growing plums, peaches, and persimmons, which the province exports.
The photo was taken in Ha Giang - Vietnam. This place is great for photographers, no tourist, no money for photo and absolutely pure.
Hΰ Giang is one of the poorest provinces of Vietnam. Traditionally, the vast majority of its economic activity revolved around agriculture and forestry, but in recent years, there have been attempts to establish a manufacturing industry. Infrastructure in Hΰ Giang has seen improvement, but remains poor - roading, schools, and health services are less developed than in many other parts of Vietnam.
Many people in Hΰ Giang belong to one of Vietnam's ethnic minorities. Aside from the Viet (or Kinh), the most numerous ethnic groups in Hΰ Giang are the Tay, the Dao, and the Hmong.

Bonjour Ireland,
une composition trθs personnelle, autant dans le cadrage que dans la gestion de l'arriθre plan et des lumiθres.
Un portrait trθs prιcis et net, bien exposι.
L'arriθre plan en lui-mκme avec ses propres lumiθres habille bien le reste de la composition.
Best regards.
Daniel.

Hello Ireland,
very good work. I like composition, BW and unusual monohrome style for colorful Asia.

Ireland,
Im sorry to be the (only) one to offer a critisism about this photo. First, supurb subject, and good tonal range. The placement of her face in the frame is interesting as well. However, the bush behind her head violates one of the rules of portraiture, that being, dont have object sprouting from the subject's head. And i think in this case, it is a distraction.
I found the accompanying note useful. Thanks,
Please post some more from this location / trip.

What an awesome portrait! Extremely sophisticated framing, wonderful tonality, and brilliant detail and rapport with the subject. A favorite.
