 This is shot in a Himba village in Namibia. Himba women are known for, umm, lack of clothing, especially on the upper body, so this girl was way “overdressed” compared to the rest ;). That’s why I chose her photo for this challenge, I guess

Fabulous, Lev! If I'd known the story, I'd have gone with a 10 instead of a 9.

Dang it.

9 from me. I love this! I'd have gone with a more "clothing" title since tah look of hers really is compelling and the title reinforces that it's about her and the baby instead of about the clothing. But, golly! What a great portrait!
