In Gunung Halimun National Park in West Java, we slept in a small and simple guesthouse, managed by a very friendly family. Every night they cooked for us and the meals were absolutely delicious. Wandering around the house, while Barbara was taking a nap, I walked into the kitchen and one of the girls was doing the dishes. The only light here came through a narrow window and I knew this could be an interesting photo.
I don't know if I mentioned this already, but if you ever travel to Indonesia, and you plan to visit Java, make sure to visit West Java. Many people start the journey in the centre and then move on to the east of the island, but for me and Barbara... the west of Java was the best.
Last but not least, everyone can see our complete photobook of Shanghai now. Just click here.
Thanks for visiting and/or commenting .
What do you think of "doing the dishes"?

Yes. Directly touching picture of her existence.
Her direct view, her very fine smile, the beauty of life.

Nice portrait. That narrow window made a great lighting effect for you. And your camera did a great job on ISO2500 regarding to noise. Well done.
