Just another grabshot

Most kids here seldom see a camera. They are quite impressed with the KM5D and Sigma 24-135.

Clayton,

I was sure everyone would respond to vthis lovely child. She's certainly engaging. I love her curly hair and her expression. Looks like one happy child.

I tried to paly with the image in PS but found that it posterized very easily.

What's the origin and circumstances of the shot and what compression is it?

I downsize severely to upload to Twango, but the image was converted from Raw. I am now in Morocco and have no access to anything but the Twango version. I had taken my grandson fishing near home in Venezuela when this girl came walking along the riverbank. Most of my photos are like this- grabshots of strangers.
Here in Morocco I have only the f30 and little free time to devote to photos. My first time here, and I am impressed. Someone more artistic than I am could get some beautiful photos here. At least I should come up with a few decent headshots, but will be about six weeks before I get home to play with them.

Clayton,

The girl is still lovely and she is gradually becoming someone I know. I hope you have more.

Try to take pictures in the Shuk and get late afternoon images of the shadows in the alleys and archways. I hope you enjoy the people and the food. I understand the they are very hospitable.
