one of 2000+ photos I took in Thailand over the last 2 weeks. This woman was an elder in a Hill Tribe in Chiang Mai, which is about 1400KM north of Bangkok. I went on a 4-day trek and lived with two families in their homes. An experience I can't even begin to describe.
Just finished editing the ones I'm going to edit and will be posting some in my portfolio later this evening.
Excellent - great to see one the more interesting photographers here back on the front page (and in very good company, too). The trip sounds extraordinary. Wonderful work.
[quote=librodo] Well, now it can be said said that you beat me out of the ribbon race for 2005! Well-earned, my friend. The other challenge is still up for grabs! G'luck!

I thought it was first to win a blue...
BLUE? I only have ONE in my entire stint here in DPChallenge. I don't have any ribbon yet this 2005 and not one of my entries ever touched a 7+ yet. But there's nothing wrong with shooting for the star. I'm in it!

Well I'll take it...it's likely the only time I'd ever be lucky enough to beat you at much of anything related to photography :)
and so you know, Manny - my score was at 7.02 about 6 hours before the challenge ended. soooooo close :) and my Best Friends entry doesn't have a hope...
Thanks all for the comments. Busy loading the rest of my Thailand pix to my portfolio at the moment. There are even a few of the Infamous Librodo in there :D

I originally gave you a 7. I am happy to see I gave you what you averaged. You deserved the ribbon!! Great exposure, clarity. I think your work is amazing, keep it up and enjoy your collection of ribbons
May this beautiful portrait inspire folks to honor this wisdom, the lined faces of our elders, revealing years of life experience and generations of history. Thanks for a great entry. Congrats on the Yellow!
creative and interesting - one of my favorites this challenge (only suggestion is to darken the right side a bit as it detracts my eye from your main subject)
Nice tones in the image, and good bokeh. I'd like a 3:2 crop though, where there's a little background on the left of her face too. But there's really good detail and a good interpretation of the challenge.
This is the interpretation I idly thought about trying to convey but I couldn't think of a suitable model and I know I'd not have created as compelling an image as you have here. Even without eye contact you've created a connection, a sympathetic reaction, a curiousity about the subject and her life experiences. Nicely composed too.
A classic. Both the picture and the model. She has an expression of charming resignation. Shy and coy yet the wisdom in her face is very evident. I like the fact that she's not looking at you as she seemed detached from the world and makes her float astral...background enhances the focus in her face.
I love this picture, but I wish it wasn't so grainy: the edges are kind of jaggy, for instance look at her earring. But other than that, it's stupendous! Looks very librodo.
Fantastic portrait and good idea to have age lines as a theme. Only wrinkle for me is that I feel a connection with the person, the colorful neck and earings, the expression, the lovely silver earlobe ovals and very little attraction toward the facial lines. Thanks for sharing. My favorite 5
wonderful interpretation, fantastic tones, great DOF. i only wish that the detail was a bit sharper (perhaps camera shake?). i haven't seen all the entries yet, but i sincerely think it would have been a top 10 with the good ol' tripod. 7 as is.
Incredibly nice prtrait. One of the two best "age lines" images IMO. There's a little too much too-bright on the right for my tastes, but the subject is SO rich...
