A very beautiful portrait of Claartje, that really shows off your capabilities as a great photographer, Tjeerd. I love (what I experience as) her inner smile, that shines so brightly through. Something that (in my opinion) makes this picture so fascinating, is the feeling that her smile somehow also is slightly held back, but the experience of her smile (when you directly look at it) is quite another. Then it feels like a glorious, open and bright smile that embraces the world. This (in my opinion) invisible dynamic is so gorgeous!! Congrats with the result!
