Picking Chili, a photo from Shan, North

Photographer's Note

The road between Taung Gyi and Kawlaw:
The nice country side. A road bordered by trees, some rolling hills, bridges over rivers crossed by farmers and their cattle. Somewhere, we stopped in a small monastery to rest and get some tea, and inside there were all these village people sorting out recently picked chili. When we got out of the car and started taking pictures, they were very happy, they stopped working for a few minutes and laughing with us. It must have been the most exciting event for them to get out of their routine like that.

I really like this Daniel - one of my most looked for and favourite compositional lines - here as a backwards 'S' running through the composition. Both foreground and backgound are great in their own rights and together they are great!

Hi Daniel,
excellent picture, very good composition.
I like all these women very concentrated.
They seems not very happy, hard work, hard conditions.

Salut Daniel,

J'ai manque pas mal de photo, celle ci me plait particulierement, j'adore ton choix de vue, et la lumiere, le grain et les ombres me font penser a l'asie.
bravo c'est tres bien realise techniquement

Hola Daniel: Tus fotos siempre tienen unos colores muy especiales, no sé si debido a la exposición fotográfico o al escaneado, en cualquier caso me gustan. Este es un buen ejemplo, también lo es de composición. Por último está ese rostro de mujer que tiene un aura de tristeza: Toda mi vida pelando chili, o apretando tornillos o pasando páginas, o dando clases... En fin, que parezco el teórico de la rutina y TE no es ni el lugar ni el momento. Bonita foto.
