Morning Grooming Photo

Photographer’s Note

I usually start walking around 7AM every day during my Annapurna round trek. But that morning I insisted to stay a bit longer, cause I wanted to take picture of the village of Chame with morning light. Waiting for the light in the valley could take a while of course :-)

But I'm glad I waited.

This Nepali man was almost done with his shaving when I saw him ( as you can see, there's not much left there to shave ) as soon as I took this only picture he got up and left that spot.

Hello Artesia. A worth seeing and a successful snapshot. Outstanding composes. However the technical quality could be somewhat better. Nevertheless a good shot. Best regards, Wolfgang.

hello Artesia
As for me, just exactly copy-paste of what was said by Wolf. Could be greatly improved (light, contrast, focus) after a brief workup in photoshop, but an interesting topic
Best to you

Hello Artesia, your gallery is really interesting, and very promising !
I have chosen this one as an example. I like these spots of colors: orange, green, and the brown of the man's faceunder the sunlight.
Very good composition.
Regards Stefano

Hello Artesia
It was worth your waiting for this photo - although I do think the workshop has further improved the lighting. Quite a funny photo. Nicely balanced with the containers to the right. Tfs, Marlene
