Bargaining, a photo from Tamil Nadu, South

Photographer's Note

After finishing the Temple visit, I was roaming around the village with my camera. Came across this scene where this woman was arguing with the rickshaw driver to take her to the bus stand at certain cost . The driver refused as she had too much load. They argued back and forth and finally the woman got her way. Bargaining is part of life in India.

Hello Lakshmi,
And many other parts of the world as well. Never does any harm to see if you can get a better price wherever you are. Makes a great daily life capture. I like the staurated colours and exclelent sharpness.

Hi Lakshmi,

Yep same in China. Sometimes the hotel staff would do the bargaining for me! Nice warm colours & good sharpness in this excellent daily life scene. Tfs!

Bonjour Lakshmi,

Je pense qu'il y a dans ces parties du monde autant de plaisir à marchander qu'à acheter..C'est dommage que l'on ne voit pas les visages des protagonistes.

Amicalement

Serge

Hello Dear Lakshmi!

Did she really have all that with her? I don’t blame her for wanting to take a local cab. If I were she I probably wouldn’t know what to do. It’s nice that you have come across the scene by accident, and didn’t just let the moment go by in front of you. The captured moment is immersed in a very warm light. The light gives this image a very special quality. Your note explains perfectly the circumstances associated with the photo. I can almost hear the rally of conversation between the Rickshaw driver and the lady. A very soft overall image quality helped to create a mood with a timeless quality. Yes, it is a very nice daily life. I enjoy the image very much.

With my very best and a warm regards,
Have a very nice Thursday, Lakshmi
Nobu.

You really made it twice, lakshmi dear...
Here we see a fine colorful moment, as they argue about the fare: why don't ride the bikes instead...?
the green trees on Bg gave a good contrast.
Lovely daily-life image.
Enjoy your friday,
Ike

lakshmi

the image has many informations and details. I liked the patterns and colors of her clothes, the guy in blue isn't well positioned, what is a pity. anyway the image has lots of interest. in morocco I hated to bargain each thing..

hugs

HI Lakshmi

Your photos from India are really awesome as well as your notes.
In my humble opinion it seems you could use some more contrast to enhance them....(sorry for the thought)
