(pardon the 5,000 posts)

National Geographic visit the Himba people :-) Good documentary photo!

It does really look like a National Geographic photo. Nice lighting.

Beowulf: The Himbas smear their body of a mixture of grease and ocher. In the sun, some are very red. I think that the rubbing of the necklace on the neck makes ooze the grease.
tbhockey: yes, same group.
Sam & WN: I dream about to be a photographer for the NG, but between the dream and the reality...
Thanks to all :-)

Very pretty.

I love these kind of pics. To bad you did not get the boobs =P it's Ok! All together I really like the pic, wonder what she's looking at.

He! He! I have the complete picture...

You already told it...

stupid racists

I don't think I've really ever heard a more ignorant comment, chalupa boy. People are beautiful, all people. Especially people untouched by the corrupt ways of so called "advanced" civilizations. Get some culture.

great capture. I find people to be the most difficult thing to take photos of. I guess I'm to shy to get in theire faces like one neet to. ^_^

Oh, wow, I wish I could take pictures like that! She's really beautiful, this is a fantastic picture!

I love this image. She is so beautiful. Thank you for bringing this to us. I finally got my digital camera...I'll be studying your images for a while. :D

Thank you Tracy (and others) for your nice words.
I appreciate them more especially as someone made racist comments...
Thanks again

I like photos with people that don't look in camera felling protagonist.I Never been in Namibia but i'm sure you could share here others great emotions of your trip. 08/10

TheChalupaBoy: That was a horrible thing to say. Hopefully you didn't mean it.
Ppigeon: I LOVE you pictures of these people, they are so interesting. Do you have more? I would love to see more of these beautiful people!

I love the contrasting light on her face: the left side is in shadow and the right is in the light. Her skin tone is absolutely beautiful.

Top marks...This is a fabulous shot...I like the eyes off lifestyle portrait you've achieved...This style of photography is more about the rappart between the subject and the snapper than the latest gear, and you clearly have the personal skills to capture the moment...Great stuff...All the best...Mick.

I really like this portrait. The woman has a sad expression. I'm left wondering what she was thinking about in her mind. An instant favourite.

Awesome capture of a beautiful woman! Very nice.

I was lucky enough to find your capture in the voting booth, Pierre. A ten + - you captured her essence and that's the mark of someone who could/should work for NG. The fine line between dreams and reality is faith. I say go for it! - Patty
