Photographer’s Note

I took this one in a city called "Bahakatapur" just outside Kathmandu in Nepal.
It's a very old city, restored to it's middle ages days.

You have succeed in catching to a photo a piece of real contentment of life. Being happy doesn't depend on money or other material things. If a person has meaningful work to do for her family, even in the middle of poverty, she can be relatively happy. This lady knows this fact. Thank you for reminding of it by this beautiful shot.

Interesting subject, beautiful light and tones. The motion blur is just great making this shot really work.
I just wish the woman looked at her work instead of you... And I would crop out the leg from the right.
Great shot in any case.

Interesting shot of daily activity Amihai. I agree with Olli - I wish she hadn't looked at the camera. But the colour is lovely, the motion blur adds a lot and it's a really nice shot.

Tenderful expression of Weaver lady is so great. It is also interesting that contrast between stillness and motion in warm light. Have you heard her words anything? Wonderful shot!

Stunning portrait. The smile is great and the spinning wheel adds motion and a dynamic element. The exposure and DOF are perfect. Well done.
