salut tristan,
splendid capture, i really love this low pov with excellent close up "study" of the "event";
i also like the way you divided the image into two halves with the man in front;
plus - the b/w conversion is truly attractive here;

Beutiful Black and white. A bit noise but the power of the image rules. The hand and feet of the person on the foreground shows the difficulty of earning a living.
Well done

Hi Tristan, this is a strong composition, beautifully exploiting the 'triangle'. Good idea not to show the top-half of the man at the front as it emphasises the work as you intended and not the man himself. The noise level is a little high but adds to the 'reportage' look and feel of the image. A slightly bigger criticism is that the whites are on the edge of being blown. I think it's OK for the salt, but I think the white of the man's shorts needs to be quietened a little. But small criticisms. A very nice shot. Stephen

Tristan. Great POV and lovely B&W. Very difficult exposure with the white salt and excellent choice of film for the suject with a nice grainy effect. Great crop.

Great composition here. It really gets the point across. Nice B/W format. Good work up close..capturing the men in the middle...and the folks in the distance on the far right corner.

Great Job.
Aloha, JB

Bonsoir Tristan,
dès la vignette je me suis dis que j'avais déjà vu cette photo quelque part... mais c'est bien sûr, dans le dernier Réponses Photo !
Superbe reportage... Et cette photo est fantastique bien que je préfère je pense la version au format 3/2 dans le magazine. Excellent cadrage et triangulation.
Beau boulot... et bonne chance

Hi Tristan,
the way you cropped the picture is really great. I also agree that B&W is perfect here.

Vraiment très beau. Les blancs et les noirs sont parfaits, la vue hyper équilibrée et graphique. C'est superbe comme vue. On est au coeur de ce travail qui doit être exténuant.

A+
