very nice ... hardly find such natural 'n excellent shot of potrait.
really like photos in National Geographic.... again, i missed this nice shot until it'd been chosen as monthly best photo.
anyway, i don't think so the face should be brighter. i prefer this way, which it might gv us more unique "feel" while looking at the photo. it make the lighting on face too perfect, will lose these feelings.... it will seems like can be taken in any studio......
nice work~!! congrat. 'n onegaishimas (plz guide me)~
