[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Chenyang - Guangxi. Life for retired people in China sometimes looks similar to Europ: playing cards in the afternoon.
If people wear these dark blue clothes, this is more due to their Minority tradition, then because of the Communist "MAO-fashion".

Very nice daily lfe scene, good POV, bestwishes

Hello Lucas,

Well composed and you catch well the atmosphere of situation!
We can see well the spectacle old men are playing game(Card, Chess, Mah-jong etc.,) in any countries, even if they play games in outdoor or the room.
Anyway, i tried an approach as a workshop.
It's more better to convert B/W and add the contrast by shadow/highlight, because the colours composing this image is near almost black(men's clothes, floor, wall, desk and pillar etc.,), i thought.
I don't know whether you like it or not, yet don't mind. This is my taste.

Thanks for sharing!

Regards,
mikio
