[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
There were women bread sellers just outside the Geghard Monastery, which is the most beautiful ancient building in Armenia. The ladies are not happy being photographed and you can see it from the expression of the half face which is just behind the foremost lady. She was trying to hide while telling us not to take pictures. Very lovely people. On the bread, it is written "Geghard" in Armenian.
Cropped and converted to sepia.

Merhaba Sayat,

This is a very good daily life shot my friend, I like very much the way the monochrome helps in adding character.

You did a very good and contrasty conversion.

Best regards,
Carlos

Very nice picture! I feel the summer in your photo.

Merhabalar,
Belgesel renginde ve tadinda bir calisma olmus.

Dear Sayat,

I definetly share your opinion that Geghard is the most beautiful Armenian Monastery, I was delighted when I saw it and much more when I enered it - great atmosphere inside. I love your sephia picture presenting these nice ladies. I also took some photos of "Geghard" ladies but they were selling churchhelli and other things. Warm greetings

Hello Sayat,
You have a nice gallery. I am attracted a lot to portraits or daily life pictures. This one is really well captured. Their gestures are great, the woman in front so serious and the other one with a great gesture.
Regards,
Iris

Dear Sayat
Huge breads & breads with a message. Very interesting post, absolutely in the spirit of TE. Why are the ladies unhappy at being photographed? The sepia tone goes well with the rustic appeal.
Regards
Angshu
