hi caleb,
I find this really a powerful image: everything talks here - the colours, the composition, the details, the contrast...
it's a pity that with his new format we cannot see the photo and camera details anymore - where have they gone??

HiCaleb!
Another wonderful one! Of course I remember an earlier upload of yours from Pushkar, complete with radishes or tubers. Now I am wondering if I missed something important when I was there! hehe. This one is great in all that it suggests. I am wondering if that is a cigarette in here hand, but I can't tell for sure. Great shot, very casual, yet telling! Great work, regards,
Steve

Typical Coleman signature all over this image, witnessing the scene like a passer-by, honestly and without frills.

A well-composed scene, tight and focus on essentials. Good subject, almost glowing with this yellow veal that leave no place for the surrounding to compete with. I wish you would have include the other foot, but the border of the wall where she sits couldn't be placed at a better level.

It might be a trivial detail, but I like the leaves next to her foot. Isn't it photography about details?...

You've never told me what was your previous image you used instead of an intro photo was coming from; you asked me to guess it, but I had no clue. Let me know, it still hanging in my mind, just like when you try to remember the name of that actor in that movie, your hamster spinning endlessly in your mind...

Cheers!

Again a wonderful picture, your compositions are so realistic, great!
Still I have a question (not critique) but why do you mostly crop your pictures so tight and f.e. here cut her right foot?

Hello Caleb,
this is a wonderful photograph.Such wonderful colours and I am very impressed with those radishes: gracious, what whoppers! :)) Their lightness balances all the colour. And their leaves have a green freshness.The woman covers her mouth and looks away, perhaps in shyness.This would have been extra special if she had looked you in the eye.This iamge has a special luminance.
regards,
Bev

Beautiful reflection of "the moment"; juxtaposition of white and yellow and the darkness of her skin against the BG. I also liked the pointing edges of the radishes in all directions that add a good sense of dimension to your photo. Bravo. TFS,
