Sitting on a bench, Jovina smoothed her hair over the flowered dress she was wearing. When I asked for a photo, she asked why I wanted to photograph her. "I'm ugly, look around, there's a lot of beautiful people here!" she said shyly.
I convinced her that she was beautiful or I wouldn't have chosen her among dozens of others who were in that place.
After a few conventional clicks, she covered her face with her hands (you will see it in the next shot), and the moment she put her hands down was the one which better expressed the sweet and shy Jovina.

There's something about her spirit you've captured that reminds me of my late grandmother. That sweetness can't be hidden or denied. Thank you for sharing this shot. She truly is beautiful.
