lazy man and working wife Photo

Photographer’s Note

On our way to the Tonle sap lake (see maciekda posts), we stopped at a local market... this shot to me is very typical of Africa or asia... women seem to work all the time while men take a nap or a good time with friends talking...

This could be a lazy husband anywhere in the world, right? lol. Very good capture and great DOF I like that you managed to get the fruit in the frame, nice one.

Hey Eric, Here I am with your daily portion!! ;-) Funny moment you captured here. I guess the man has worked very hard at first, so he deserves it ;-) I like the pose of the woman with her stretched out neck, she is really interested in someone/thing. Nice tones, with the red and the yellow of the mangos.

hi Eric, nie picture, nicely composed, good moment with the man sleeping. one flaw - the woman's pose and expression, she seems to be talking to someone outside the frame, you should have waited for a better moment to press the shutter, to have a more appropriate pose or expression. nice shot, but a second or two later could be nicer

Very good composition, interesting and very good colours !
Congratulations

Very amusing, you ought to send this to some womens group, it'd make a good issues poster.

Eric. this is a funny shot. It could have been sharper butthe moment you've captured between the two of them is thought-provoking. Typical of Asia or Africa? I don't think so. We get our jobs done fast so we take time out to relax. :)

great colours and the daily life shot is wonderful here, I like the positioning and the naural look on thier faces too.

Great TE shot

the mangos (?) in the foreground are very bright, and i think the rest of the picture (the focus of the picture) are too dark... good capture of daily life, of culture.

oui normal... non je rigole! mais souvent c'est ainsi dans le monde entier... belle prise de vue, mais bon, la femme ne semble pas trop affolée non plus , super soignée avec les ongles des pieds faits..
