Happy Harvest Photo

Photographer’s Note

This farmer is really happy. Maybe because it's harvest time....after months of taking care of his crops, he's finally getting the rewards of his hard work. Or maybe because I was shooting him, that's why he gave his sweet smile. Either way, he's happy, and that's what matters.

Hello Alford! You have a great rapport with your subject here as evidenced by his great smile. The man is well positioned in the frame and the wide f-stop created the shallow DOF to enhance the composition. Well done!

Good diagonal movement in the frame!
Good documentary of daily life & work, and judged by the smile he is happier than most!!
Attractive natural colours, narrow DOF works ell!

Alford,this is a great character shot with good composition,color, light...and the priceless expression.The only thing I would suggest is to warm it up just a little to let in the ambient light so the color and shadow depths are truer to life. IYou were there, so you know best though. Well done!
