Uploaded on March 8th 2011, International Women’s Day, a day to celebrate women and their achievements! From the instant I saw his woman I know that she wa special. I don’t know her name or her story, but I am sure she has one that we may not want to hear. This beautiful lady at the market in Hoi An, Vietnam, radiated such elegance, friendliness, warmth and hope that she has to be my representative for International Women’s Day 2011. If anyone knows her personally please let me know. Location: Daily Market, Hoi An, Vietnam Nikon D7000, Nikkor 18-105. Shot in RAW and converted to JPG including post-pro in CS4 and Nik SilverEfexPro2.
