We've had (and still have) a great "Thai Smiles" thread, but having skimmed through the forum, I didn't immediately see a 'faces' thread. There are so many interesting faces, facial expressions etc that are worthy of being recorded. Formal and informal portraits, candid shots...whatever! I'll kick it off with this lovely lady from Ko, near Li, Lamphun....sadly no longer with us.

The first photo was posed. Khun Yai Op was delighted that I wanted to take her pic. The next two were sneaky candid shots using a long lens.

after Songkran!

^^^^ everybody...I like em all & if I do the like button I'm screwed for the day!

Double post...apols...

Phew ! I have been having a problem all evening, server error 500 on Picasa... seems to have resolved its self now!

She had the most amazing eyes.... but she didn't look up again for ages, so had to make do with this shot

Unrequited love......

Hey Robb

Nice composition; but your subject is a little dark? Not sure what software you use; but if you can raise the shadows a bit you can bring out their expressions more clearly. Attached just has the shadows lifted a bit. Just a thought.

Thx.... I didn't edit the shot at all, other than cropping it hard back to the subjects. In fact, almost all of the shots I have posted have been unedited, as far as I remember (not a boast....I have been lazy!!)

However, I normally use Paintshop Pro for editing.

Here is the original photo, uncropped, but resized to 1200pixels max.
