Dental Smile, by Ryszard Wierzbicki

North from the Inle Lake area, there is a Chin Tribe district and a small local village market on the bank of the lake. Such a place I a great opportunity for a photographer, where one can find many topics to perpetuate. This girl was an unusual object to spot on because of her cheerful and gap-toothed smile.
