Girls on Buddhist new year, Luang Prabang, Laos

Young girls in traditional festive dress posing for a photo in Wat Xieng Thong, one of Luang Prabang's many historic temples, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Beautiful textiles, jewellery and make up with every detail perfectly arranged, can you imagine how long it must take them to get ready like this?

Shot on a modest Nikon D300 back in 2009 and with far from the best settings (iso 800 why oh why :) and not my best composition, but I feel it has to be published as they just look so amazing. Hope you like it.

Please see my album ☞ along the Mekong for more pics from Buddhist new year and Luang Prabang.
