Just another shot from my favourite market near Bagan.
I might post another smoking lady next time, if you haven't seen one too many yet...

This lady is just enjoying her smoke while having a quiet moment.

Hi Sabine, excellent shot, as everytime really colorful and with an amaizng smoke in the middle of the image.
excellent composition, focus and light.
thanks, ciao

bonjour Sabine
Sympa ce beau portrait. J'aime bien la posture, la cadrage serré, la petite fumée lumineuse et les couleurs renforcées par ce fond de fleurs.
Tout cela est très bien composé.
Amicalement
Bertrand

Hi Sabine,

- Good position of the subject
- Well balanced colour with the scaff and flowers.
- The DOF just right.
I envy your on your trip...well done and see you again.
Regards, David

Bonjour Sabine,
Nos chemins ne se sont pas encore croisé je pense, mais comme il faut un début à tout.
Votre galerie comporte des très jolies photo qui nous montre un peu la vie d’un autre pays qui a souvent moins de chance que nous.( dans le même style on retrouve Bertrand qui lui aussi nous ramène des excellentes images).Il est vrai que cela change des autres vues que l’on a l’habitude de voir sur TE, mais c’est bien que des gens comme vous nous fait découvrir un autre monde pas toujours joli à voir, (pour ma part j’en ai vu un petit bout en Afrique en 78).
Voilà ce que je voulais vous dire, ceci dit je ne donnerai pas de commentaire sur celle-ci en particulier car chaque de vos images ont quelques choses de particulier.
Bonne fin de journée et bonne continuation en espérant vous recroiser bientôt.
Patrick

Belle photo Sabine, de belles touches de couleurs. Un moment de quiétude bien saisi avec la cerise sur le gateau avec cette caligraphie en 'fumée' ... Bravo.
Alain -

excellent portrait. very sharp focus on the subject. i like the winding fumes coming out of the cigaret. nice pov and tfs.

regards,
arjun

Very beautiful scene and well composed Sabine. I love to see people smoking on photographs. Don't know why, but the act of smoking produces always great moody results. The smoke was very well captured by you. It's whiteness is amazing. Love the woman's reflective/calm expression, the scarf in her head and the pink flowers on the right. I just wished you had gone for a even more shallow dof to completely "erase" the cropped human figures on the background. Great photo!

Bonjour Sabine,
Un très beau shot bien composé avec de belles couleurs. Techniquement bien réalisé. Merci.
Gérard

Hi Sabine
This is a good candid shot and taken at an opportune moment. The colouring is good and the moment of capture is just right. I probably would have adjusted the curves and levels a little to bring out some foreground brightness, but overall a very good picture.

Wow! The colours in this shot just leap out of the frame and grab my attention. I also like the pose of the person, who is not looking toward the camera, but is looking away. Great work!

Hello Sabine,

I like this quiet moment. Lovely capture of the smoke. Great colors too. Nice daily life picture.

Hello Sabine,
je me demande où tu l'as trouvé ce marché ! :)
La coiffe, les fleurs et surtout ce joli dessin crée par la fumée rendent cette photo très agréable à l'oeil.
Bien vu

Hey Sabine,

Nice image. Great comp and dof. Good color and very sharp where it needs to be. Well done.
Ben

Encore un portrait qui m'épate dans cette série sur le Myanmar. Il me semble que tu t'es concentrée sur cette fumée comme sur l'élément paradoxal et original de la composition. C'était déjà le cas dans la photo précédente. Etonnant de voir ce visage doux, paisible, à deux doigts d'être rattrapé par la fumée.

L'assemblage des couleurs est superbe, orange sur la tete, fleurs roses tyrien, et cigare jaune-vert en vedette discrete... les petites volutes de fumee marquent encore plus le tres bon effet de relief qui vient avec cette belle photo. Bravo.

Hello Sabine
Everything here works out ot perfection. THe cigar, the smoke, but specially the colourull clothes of the lady and the flowers,
well done
Regards
Daniel

This is a very restful scene, Sabine, she seems to be enjoying her quiet moment and we do not interupt her. It seems ironic that her in the west we see less and less people smoking in the east it is just the opposite.
I love the bright flowers and of course the wisp of smoke so nicely captured.

Hello,

Très belle image ! C'est un beau portrait que tu as réalisé là, les couleurs y sont superbes. L'image est bien composée. J'aime bien la volute de fumée.
Bien vu.

Hi Sabine,

It's been a while..... :O)

This shot contains so many nice elements. First of all of course the smoking woman. Well taken in profile which gives a great view of both the cigar, the smoke but also her hand....there is something with this hand that adds a lot to the image. Lovely orange scarf. I do agree with Luis regarding the background.

:) Tina

Hi Sabine,
Excellent portrait with natural and beautiful colours. Very good perspective and the light. I also like the smmoke. very well done.
TFS and greetings,
Aires

Ciao Sabine,
I like your point of view here, her pose, the playing twirling smoke and the colourful background.
I can't wait to return to Myanmar next November...
A (big) smile for you.
Luca

I was doubting with next shot but this one I prefer, a very natural street shot with an excellent catch of the smoke, a very clear well contrasted photo with good DOF to spot her out, the flowers and her scarf as an eyepuller.
