Photographer’s Note

on the beach. I am always impressed by these colorful women who can balance things on their heads.I do not know what they have in their buckets, but they were probably on their way to the fishing village behind the rock.

Jpeg,crop, sharpening after resize.

Hi Boa,

Such bold colours and an image you won't see every day. I'm surprised you have not had more comments. The shot is working well for me, though I wonder if the man in the background should be there. Damn photographers:-)

Hello Boa
A really colourful and interesting photo. I also thought the man with camera was a distraction and so have done a workshop to remove him. I have done 2 versions - 1 with the small child and other without. I hope you don't mind. Tfs, Marlene

Hej Boa,
I like this very colourful, bright scene! Fantastic capture! LOL Excellent balance (I especially like it that there are two yellow buckets balancing each other on both sides of the image :))
Concerning the versions with the cloned out people... I am not sure if they are disturbing in the original shot. I have a different idea of cloning out the child and leaving the guy standing in the distance.
On second thought, let it be as it is - this is a spontaneously captured scene, and this is how it is!
Warm regards,
Elena

Hi Boa
Very interesting and beautiful picture.
Why do these women come with buckets. ?
They collect anything?

Hi Boa,

This is a very nice picture, and humorous too because of the contrast between the women and the man. Clours are great!

he he... what a great mic. Great colours and DOF. Congratulations.

Hi Boa
You have achieved very good DOF with the women being clear and sharp and the colours magnificent. A good daily life depiction at one of the most beautiful places. But for me perhaps the guy in the background could have been a little sharper :-) only joking!
Cheers

Hi Boa

Love this shot. The strong colours of the ladies really jump out at you and lovely shallow dof which blurs the people in the background, if anything bothers me about this pic its the arm coming out from the lady in black - maybe you could clone it out!
