A gambian smile

    January 2008

    Fulani girl in Tabakoto, a small village in The Gambia. I met her just outside her very modest home. She is another example of the many smiles that you will encounter all over Africa. Despite the very little that most people posess you will always get a great happy smile.

      This is wonderfully luminous portrait. It is even better viewed large.

      Un ritratto accattivante dalla bella saturazione che ha restituito una foto intensa.
      Eccellente la scala tonale che restituiscono alla pelle un colore molto carico e molto graduale.

      Molto buona ed accuratamente dosata la nitidezza dovuta molto probabilmente ad un’ottica particolarmente nitida ed incisa.

      Molto buona ed appropriata la nitidezza no troppo marcata ma nemmeno slavata
      Bella la luce dura e concreta che arricchisce e modella l’aspetto volumetrico del soggetto
      Complimenti.
