[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This "launderette" is beside the road between Pathein and Yangon.
The bus stopped at a big junktion,no village there,only some small shops and a restaurant for a late lunch.
I loved this break because the road was a nightmare.
You can see the restaurant in the workshop.

Hi Andreas,

You did very nice addition the WS,so we can see the restaurant, but I find your original picture very extraordinarily through the excellent daily life presentation, excellent reflection too, depth and perspective with the long small river, very well done!

Have a nice weekend,
John.

Hi Andreas,

Good work to capture this image. Very good color, contrast and definition.Beautiful reflection,and beautiful image of daily life indeed.

Have a nice weekend,

Nice reference to Hanif Kureishi,Leo. I wouldnt mind doing my washing here beteen the floating gardens. A fine daily life image from rural Burma, the reflections a welcome addition.

Hi, friend!
It is interesting scene with girl and boat. Good warm colours, nice composition. I like your idea. Interesting nature.
Marek

Hallo Leo,
I like this simple but very attractive image caught in your photo.
The girl washing the clothes in the creek, the canoe and the reflexes, everything surrounded with a green and rich vegetation. All works very nicely.
The WS also is good, and adds more information about this place.
Best regards,
Josep

Ciao Andreas,
Beautiful shot: Asia... you can see situations like this here only. Good light and compo with the reflex on the water.
I'll post something like this in the next days...
Thanks Andreas.
Have a nice weekend

Hallo Leo,
Very interesting compo here. I like how you connect the upper left corner with the lower right through the pole and the (head of the) woman. Both are placed about the same distance from the top/bottom and connected through boat on the middle diagonal.
The colors and light are very nice and natural here but the back of the shirt of the woman looks a bit burned. The reflection is a nice bonus.
Good sharpness in this well captured daily life scene.
Well done,
Harko

Une scène charmante que tu as su capturer ici.
Amicalement

Hi Leo - pretty daily life shot, really interesting, capturing her activity in this spot, and even a reflection in these waters, TFS! Daniel

Hi Leo,
what a place to do the laundry.
Great catch.

Hi Andreas,
Very fine and suggestive photo. Impressive theme and superb realization. I like the composition and the talkative details. Excellent genre image. Have a nice weekend.

Hi Leo,
Excellent documentary shot alongwith the WS making it a complete package, showing us what to expect if we ever take that road. Beautiful reflections and positioning of the subject.

Hello Leo,
I like the lines in this composition!
The point of view is pretty good too, and the colours and details are well reproduced...
A good photo documentary, showing a small slice of life!

Plesant so peaceful daily life shot with beautiful reflection.

I really admire your shot Leo. Abeautiful composition rich in vegetation, but what I like most is the reflection.

Salut Andreas,
Oui, je me souviens que les routes en Birmanie sont épouvantables et que les stops étaient bien appréciés. Quant à ta photo, elle respire la sérénité. Bravo. Amitié, Patty.
