farm work is hard work Photo

Photographer’s Note

Snapshot / candid photo.

In the mountains above Pokhare I saw farmers on the field. Particularly the young woman with the baby on the back impressed me. The picture shows a cutout of the total motive. See WS.

Hi Wolfgang,
This is very hard work, indeed... besides with child. The composition of the photo is impressive, the timing is superb likewise. Splendid daily life shot. Have a nice day!

Both splendid. Maybe the original version has really poor quality, but theme is presented properly.
Regards.

Hi,
I think it's both difficult for the mother & child. The mother doing farm works and the child making sure he'll not fall. Nice photo showing the nepalese daily farm life. TFS.
Regards,
Pedro

Hello Wolfgang,
The expression on her face tells it all. Work made all the more difficult by her having to take the child along with her. Very good daily life image.

Hallo Wolfgang,

schöne Beschränkung hier auf diesen Bild-Ausschnitt, der Workshop geefällt mit insgesamt besser, weil er etwas mehr "Dokumentarisches Potential" in sich birgt;

toller Schnappschuß..

viele Grüße Bernd

Hello Wolfgang,
The quality of your crop and your message are both very fine. The baby must get good exercize holding on to hid mother as she works! The misty mountain backdrop in your excellent complete photo make one appreciate the difficulty of the conditions for agriculture, as well as the hard work.
Best regards,
Mary

I like both the shots, they're complimentary:)
Althought I suppose there's too much light, I love the posture the woman has, and the child on her back, well caught and seen:)

Hello Wolfgang,
Very nice daily life image, showing this women hard at work while taking care of the children at the same time. the light is strong but you capture the true essence of the life of the local people. Good one, Thanks.
I think I like the WS better, it gives even more impression of the overall setting. though this one give a closer look.

Greetings Wolfgang,

Your photo makes me realize something: Ever notice how most farm workers like this woman are so beautifully dressed and seem to always remain clean? How does she accomplish that while picking up dirt with her bare hands, with a child clinging to her back? Simply amazing. I have a great deal of respect for it.

Your image is quite clear. I like both the cropped version and the original for different reasons.

Excellent capture of real life as is it in much of the world. Thank you!

Warm regards from California,

Rachel

hi Wolfgang

I like the bent position of the woman and the child hanging on. Very candid and quick click of your response. Great composition, both in this close up and your WS version.

Good work.

tfs, bill

hi Wolfgang,
thanks to show us how the farm worh is a difficult work in this area of the world. And the workshop picture is also interesting to that : no machines here, just a bullock and some wooden tools to cultivate a ground that seems hard to cultivate.
Interesting pov too for showing us a woman at work, ot only it's difficult but she has to to that with her baby on her back !

Hallo Wolfgang,
toller Bildausschnitt von der schweren Arbeit auf Nepals Feldern. Die arbeitende Frau mit dem Kind auf dem Rücken zeigt die harten Lebensbedingungen eindrucksvoll. Das komplette Foto im Workshop ist ebenfalls sehr gut gelungen. Vor allem der Pflug hinter den Ochsen ist sehr interessant.
Viele Grüsse aus dem Donautal,
Helmut

Hi Wolfgang,
yes...the title is very right. Still the lady with the responsibility on her back manage to find a few dollars to support life. you have been to Asia and you have seen hardship in life.
Yet, the lady still gives excitement with beautiful and colourful dress.
i like it very much.
You have captured the moment very well.

regards,
Foozi
