Dear Caleb

Several times I have been to Sinkiang province, I like the desert and the Uygurs. Your picture shows perfectly daily life. It's a good example. Sharpness, Colors and DOF are great. The framing could not be better. Well done

best regards
Urs

Hi, Caleb.
Excellent position of both of them.
Excellent expressions.
But I am a little disturbed by the blurry red part in the bottom, and by the blue tones in the black elements.
Best regards. Grazyna.

I like this picture as a double portrait, as a scene from a marriage. No idea if that's an accurate interpretation, but it's the couple that I find so striking here, with the man perhaps more quiet, usually somewhere behind the scenes, his smile more subdued, more on the inside, yet so clearly visible...

Excellent shot.

Benny

Those three beers on the left really make me thirsty!! Is that Xinjiang beers??

An amazing focus and sharpness on the two faces and the beers. I really like the fact that you kept the upper part of the counter. Its a good contrast between the blurry counter and the sharp (white and dark) faces.

谢谢你让我们看这个照片!!!

(like all your China-pics, by the way).

Hi Caleb, a long time indeed, but I see you still hard at it. Running through your recents, the thing I like about this one is the everyness of of it, whilst still retain your carefully planned portrait arrangement.

Hello Caleb,
A surprising and very original composition of faces, objects and forms.
Well seen and well executed.
