[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A lady weaving a tais at a co-operative set up to allow women to get better prices for their handiwork. The speed of movement of her hands is largely due to the lack of light and slow shutter speed, but is quite effective at showing the effort put in.

Hi Neil
Interesting POV here which makes for a great composition. I like the bright colours of the cloth and the people standing around, and the movement in the weaver's hands is very effective at conveying her fast work.
Regards, Susanna

What is a "tais"? -- be great to have more of a note. But I love the color and movement, and the sense of life that you have shown us here.
