Madagascar Beauty

I don't often take photos of people, as my main interest is nature photography.  But as we were packing up to leave Berenty after wonderful shoots of lemurs, this young daughter of one of the lodge staff stepped out near our vehicle.  I couldn't resist.  But my camera gear was all safely stowed for the 3+-hour trip over an awful road.  I had my Galaxy S7 Edge in my pocket, pulled it out and took several images of this young lady who seemed mesmerized by me.  1/312th at f/1.7, ISO 50, Program mode.

Charles: she is definitely a beauty. I like the strong colors of her dress against the softer toned background. And that face... Richard

Caught her at a very expressive moment, Charles.  A charming image.
