Photographer’s Note
i took that pic during our trip in Burma and Malaysia in the summer 1999.
we were on the bus from Bago to Kalaw and we stopped few minutes in that desolated land.
that guys appeared from ...the nothing with some buffalos.
as the most part of the Burma people were very polite with strangers.

Benvenuto Paolo su TE. Questa foto presenta un forte contrasto tra l'atmosfera particolarmente drammatica del paesaggio dovuto ad un cielo cupo ed ai colori scuri dei campi ed il tenero saluto del ragazzino impiegato, credo, anche lui nella dura fatica dei campi. Conto ben sette strisce di diversa larghezza colorate che attirano l'occhio dell'osservatore, dal basso verso l'alto: rosso, verde, rosso, verde chiaro, verde scuro, bianco e grigio scuro.
P.S. Una nota più ricca sarebbe gradita da tutti i membri.
PPS Caspita quante foto hai sul sito che mi hai segnalato: complimenti. Mi serviranno anche come spunto per le mie prossime foto.

Welcome on TE Paolo !
Thanks for sharing this nice moment with us.
Maybe you could have improve this composition by showing more on the left side and less on the right one.
I was also in Burma at the same time in 1999 and immediately noticed these unforgottable colours on your picture !

Hi Paolo
I like this very sturated shot of the boy on the bull. Great detail from this very distant place. Crisp colours and the fine cloudy sky in the back. Good job.

Welcome to TE Paolo ;-))
As I'm not too interested in B&W pictures I got the idea to come back to your very first post, it was a very nice one I must say. Of course seeing it with our TE aware eyes not we could say the subject is centered and there is not enough space on the left. But the colors and the attitude capture are there already. This one would be worth a repost I think, and you could use such a opportunity to remove the scratches that spoil a bit this nice image. Strangely the boy going away seems to say bye bye while your purpose with this one was rather to say hello TE !
Buona giornata,
Jean-Yves

Except rather poor quality, I like this photo because of good theme and note.
