Beautiful symmetry to this one, Inn. And the light is glowing. But I wish I could see her face. I bet she wishes she had a Whirlpool or a Maytag. Best, -Hugh

Very unusual picture. Can't exactly put it in words what is so unusual about it, but it looked surprising when I opened it. Maybe it's the centered lady sqarely facing you but her face is completely dark. Rarely do you see a picture of someone facing you but the face is not visible. Also, her posture is strange. Her arms are straight and she is lifting the load above her head. She is about to take a step, forward or backward. Like the symmetry and the V-shape of the sky that forces our gaze towards her.

The placing of the subject centrally is an interesting idea - it works well. Its breaking the rules but providing a nice result!
Great earthy colors throughout as well.

Cheers,
Dave

Salut, Inn.
J'aime beaucoup la scène, la composition, et les couleurs.
Excellent titre.
En revanche, dommage que le visage soit complètement bouché...
Amitiés, Grazyna.

salut Inn,
les couleurs sont magnifiques... J'aime bien le choix de centrer la personne et le fait que l'on ne voit pas son visage.
Très joli : )
A bientôt
Fred

I like this one, becquse the subject is centered, too bad the face is completly in the shadow. Anyway it s a nice photograph.

I really like this one. Colours are intense and warm, and the washmachine is placed in front of the sky, just between the trees. As a result, the central position works well.
Too bad the face is dark: by boosting up the shadows slightly, we would guess her face features (eyes and smiling mouth), and that would be perfect.

Well done
Cheers
