Wish I had asked her name. I spied this very attractive young lady simply watching us one day in a small village in Tra Vinh Province. I pointed to my camera, she smiled and obligingly stepped in among a small grove of coconut trees. This was the pleasant result. This image comes from a small 2 by 3 1/2 inch, locally processed, B&W print. Backlighting is a problem. I have added a soft filter to partially obscure the effects of the brilliant late morning sun. Tra Vinh is bordered by the Mekong on both the north and south and by the South China Sea on the east. It is river delta land at its finest. The Province is covered by a crazy quilt of rice patties, irregation canals, small farm towns and is ringed by numerous tiny fishing villages. Thanks for all your interest in these photos taken in Vietnam by me in 1965-66. You are among the first people to have ever seen them. This is the fouth in a mini-series. Here is a link to yesterday's posting, Have You Ever Seen Such Glee? Wow, half way through the week already:-) Bill Edit note: The comment by GiMi53 below, got me thinking about cropping once again. My original upload did have this young lady right in the middle of the photo. This is a newly cropped photo moving the subject left of center. Newly uploaded as of 12:50pm, March 11th.
