[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I am at the farm of my freind's mother. It is perched about 3/4 of the way up a steep mountain. (I am terrifed of heights, so it is an act of bravery on my part to even get there)The food is excellent, the hospitality wonderful, the air fresh (outside), landscape beautiful beyond belief, BUT, nepalis have no chimneys in their homes. I had to leave the kitchen quick and take this from a doorway. Everyone left, (Nepalis usually never notice the smoke) it was so bad, even the cook. The house is traditional orange painted. She is cooking buffalo meat in this picture, (delicious).

Gloria the story goes on. Great capture of the Daily life. You no what i gonna say. Good job! The smoke is a good detail and make (for me) the picture. Well done.

Great moment you get Gloria.

Execelente colors, the smoke is wonderfull.

Congratulations

another great scene from your travel, a lot of smoke here, I wish you didn't use the flash, it could create an interesting effect too. also it would be nice to see the face of the girl. but still it is a nice and interesting picture.

Another amazing one, Gloria. I guess in the western world you wouldn't be able to catch such a scene without a firefighter in it ;-) Some amazing color effects through all the smoke, like the glowing fire below the cooking pot, and once more the colorful dresses. Wonderful note, and it appears your bravery was rewarded not only with this shot, but also with a good meal.

Well done (as for the other photos I see in your galerie). You 'pick' a true moment with colors and sensibility. A lot of sense and feeling in your shot. Mortimer.

Lovely colors through the smoke fog.
Very well done.

This is a strange but interesting picture. The smoke and items on the floor give a realistic touch.

A real exciting shot with the usual amount to study. Looks like a pack of cigarettes on the floor. I think there is enough smoke already.

You must have held your breath while taking this! The way the smoke envelopes her is almost ghostly. Very well captured, i just wonder if she'll be able to taste the food after breathng all that smoke! Great shot, I thought it might benefit from a closer crop although i like the details here too.

What a interesting shot .. there is alot of smook, and there is a modern cigrat box in the floor ...!! , the colors is very nice too ,,well done

Nice effect with the smoke. just like Ladakh or Tibet.. When you stay in for a long time, you end up as a smoked ham...
Very nice scene Gloria.

Ah! Strange, beautiful, colored, environment of incredible smoke, I do not have a qualifier anymore to express how much I like your photo. Atmosphere magnificent to look.
Great shot!
Ah! étrange, beau, colorée, environnement de fumée incroyable, je n'ai plus de qualificatif pour exprimer combien j'aime votre photo. Ambiance merveilleuse à regarder.

Lovely picture again. The smoke does impart another feel to this. All I hope is that there was no plastic bag in the middle. Giving a strage glare. Isnt it?
