Thanks Cathy and Jean.
She aparently was not very eager to get her photo taken: she just didn't want to look into the camera, inspite of me making funny noises and so on.

Cheers
Jan

By the way: I published this one and other images of Ethiopia on my website: http://www.janvanderhoeven.com

Jan, Beautiful! Personally, I think her NOT looking into the camera has made this a truly special image...you captured her true personality. I love the eyelashes too. Great work, America. #88704

Thanks America,
You're probably right. I took some other portraits, but this one has indeed a special atmosphere and personality to it.
Cheers,
