Hello Caleb
I like this shot very much.
Natural expressions on the face of the ladies.
Framed very well. Colours are great. Peaceful composition.
Well done.
Regards,
Graham.

Hi caleb
a pure beauty once again !!!
I travelled past tagong 3 days ago. They are repairing all the roads between Bamei and Kangding except for the little portion between xinduqiao and tagong. The grass is covered with dirt, the streams have lost their beautiful deep blue colour and the women all cover their faces with masks to protect themselves. Should be over in 2010.

An adorable Manet painting with Chinese ladies refreshing themselves with a bottle of Chinese 7 Up...
Fascinating use of bokeh and an umbrella. I am just curious how you are always so "into the lives" of those people, but this is your own little secret.
cheers,
deniz

hello Caleb,
love this to bits. Deniz has hit the nail on the head.. a Chinese Manet indeed.There is so much charm here, both ladies have their own beauty. The composition is wonderfully tied together by the blue umbrella which helps form a top for the triangle.One for my favourites...can't understand why there has not been more recognition for this one??
