    Wonderfull!
    You even show the typical red “soil-makeup” effect!
    And she looks as if something bothers her……..very expressive!

  • Wow, Thank you Andrea! She does have a pensive look to her.
    Yes, they smother their plaited hair with the red soil mud and the woman actually cover their skins in the rich coloured mud.
