Hi, neighbor!
Good docu shot with a nice grainy B&W conversion giving it an antique touch.
You captured and framed the action well.
Interesting scene

First, the highly contrasted B&W is excellent and the grain adds to the feeling of a past profession which still exist in some parts of the world. It is amazing to see how confident they are about safety. They simply work bare foot and not concerned at all with the sharp tools they also use. It is a very good document of daily life.

Hello Wanda,

Is always interesting seeing artirs at work. They seem so easy in their tasks. The image is nice, well rendered in dual colours. The grainy texture makes the image look older and also gives more character. Excellent framing. Thanks wanda.

Hi Wanda,

Through the backwaters speeds fast many lovely boats, that has the touch of the divine hearts of these craftsmen from Champakkulam. They are famous for building boats...
Good shot that shows a different world, unique in its style.
Excellent in B/W.
All the best..

Dag Wanda,
Mooi hoe je telkens weer die Ilford uit de kast haalt en ons er van laat mee genieten. Waarom schiet je eigenlijk dubbel. Analoog en digitaal, kun je geen afstand nemen van het film tijdperk? ;-)
Je compositie is mooi gekaderd en ook hoe je de man aan het werk hebt weten vast te leggen is heel mooi opgezet met die lichte beweging in zijn hamer...prima werk.
Groetjes, Henk

Hi Wanda,
wonderful POV to show his work, the bit grainy touch makes the contrasts more impressive and the details everywhere let us detect a lot. The black&white helps to focus on him and his work. I like this.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi Wanda!

Capturing daily life scene in one your strongest "fields" in photography. this is an excellent photo, great portrait of a man at work. Perfect choice of b&w, and the grain also helps to create a beautiful atmosphere. Congratulations!
