...bare feet and hands into the muddy fields
...scorching heat of the sun
...acres and acres of land to be planted
...aching back and muscles

I wonder what goes on in the minds of farmers while they're planting?

Something must be driving them despite all the pain and hardships...
Hopes of better days and brighter future for their families.

And it's with patience and hardwork that they try to attain their goals.

Hi Alford and welcome back,
ANother nice photo here on the rice farming theme you know so well, I like the capture of the working position, the reflection and the foreground rice plants, plus the whole view is very luminous.

Hi Alford, A nice capture of the hard working daily life scene with the gesture of the typical "facing the ground and back towards sky" farm life. An excellent composition and beautiful catch. Thanks for appreciate the hard working of the farmers as showing in this picture.

Great framing on this one. ---> Explains the planting of rice in a nutshell...Bunches of rice seedling waited to be planted (foreground), the planting process (middle), and how it finally looks like when it's finished (background). excellent compo.

Hi Alford. As always it's nice to see a new one from you. In the middle of winter it's nice to see a shot that warms you up even if it consists of back-breaking labor. You had good timing with the shutter release. Very nice one Alford.
