Description Today I was in a village where my Dad grew up. So I was visiting a relative and on our way we saw a cute family walking. I stopped them and asked if I could take a photo of their little girl. They agreed instantly. I spent quite some time on the post processing. My main goal was to make it look natural.

would love to hear what you guys think.

where is the village that your dad grew up?
i think the picture is beautiful, the slight dullness to the background really brings out the child with her bright yellow top and pink flowers.
her expression is mixed however, makes u wonder what she is thinking. a great shot.
makes me wish i had more portraits.

The village is called Gholvad which is located on the border of Maharashtra (State) in India. Thanks for the detailed critique.

i think you achieved the 'natural' look of the shot! great job!! but i kind of felt anger or fear from the child's reaction and/or face.. i feel a bit scared but pity at the same time.. *mixed emotions*.. but all in all, i think it is great and the flowers are nice and it seems really natural to me..

thanks for all the comments. Yes, this girl looks a bit scared ..maybe cuz she was wondering what I was doing. People in some parts of this village might not know what a camera is.
