That's impressive and unexpected! Especially if you compare it to the face of the guy on the left - seen in another image. Very good selective DOF, excellent B&W as always!

i think her smile , a mix of tiredness but also of strong will and satisfaction!

A great image, a dangerous title

Her smile is clearly diluting any pain...

Indeed, Guenter, what a smile after all that pain. "Healthy mind in a healthy body" used to say the ancient Greeks, with whatever means "healthy mind". Probably healthy soul too, which, in this photo, appears very well. Excellent capture my friend!

Indeed! A woman to walk the mountains with... so that she can carry us when we collapse!
