Charley, I am being frank with you, the image you posted earlier, that of the Tibetan Girl, is more engaging than this one... sorry. The eyes of the Tibetan girl were not critically in focus, a minor issue, but she was looking at the camera and she had that enigmatic and solemn look at the same time. On the other hand, this girl here seemingly looked ever so slightly to the right. Don’t get me wrong, this is a great portrait and technically, this image seems to be a better though.

No problem, Joshua. I appreciate your candor. I think she has a sad, far-away dreamy look, that perhaps reflects the grinding poverty that her family is experiencing.

That is "engaging" to me!
Well done!

Thank you, Dan. Her family is quite poor, and you can see the apprehension and at the same time a far away look in her eyes. I decided not to Photoshop the dirt on her chin and stains on her top.
