Bonne addition pour mon thème ;D super moment bien saisi avec son regard qui part sur le côté... j aime bien comment les lotus lui masquent partiellement le visage. On sent qu'elle rigole sans vraiment voir son sourire, ce qui impacte bien!

Hello Marilyn,
I like this especially because the girl's expression says that she is self conscious about you taking her pictureand there is something charming about that.Nicely composed with a good dof.

Greetings Marilyn,

What a wonderful way to get the Mona Lisa effect - ¿she seems to be smiling, but can we be sure? Nice sharp focus on the subject of your frame, lovely colours especially on the flowers and her shirt and enough detail on the background to keep it interesting, but not distracting.

Many thanks, regards, iain
