A girl from Miankaleh, a photo from Mazandaran, East

Photographer's Note

We arrived to a fishing village in Miankaleh peninsula for finding some breads for our dinner, there was not a shop in village but a minibus that every day take persons to Behshahr(nearest city to village around 12 km) bring their needs every night.
we knocked a door that we hear some voices in for bread and a man opened it, i saw 4 or 5 beautiful children in.i forgot why i knocked that door and after an small greeting i said that `` who want to have a photo?`` and this cute girl was one of them.

sallam rahim. your note is a killer. do you really knock on doors to take photos of people inside? i could never dare to do that! where do you find the courage? but your courage gave you a splendid portrait of this beautiful little girl. the light on her face is fantastic.

ps: you are right about the lack of "decisive moments" in our photos. however i don't find it right to limit photography to "decisive moments". even when you look at the photos of well known magnum photographers, the amount of decisive moments are quite rare. and this makes them more precious maybe, but i regard other genres also with respect.

I am drawn to the shot for the beauty of the child and the lovely soft warm light on her skin. The pin-pricks of light in her eyes add life and the off-centre composition is very attractive. Rahim it is a pleasure to see this and I am quite astonished when I read your note and realise that you knocked on the door of her house and out she came to be photographed. Fabulous story. Warm regards Rosemary

Hello Rahim,
This child is so beautiful. I like the soft expression on her face. She seems so innocent. I like that you placed her on the right side of the frame, with the softly-blurred background. It's a lovely portrait.

Hi
I think mehrdad-t made a good adjustment, but, for my taste, a little too bright!

I agree with the statement of worldcitizen and SnapRJW!
