[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note [French]
I took this photo in caramel village at Binh Hoa Phuoc island,during the making of "pop-rice".
Rice added with a black sand,and brought at high temperature,in a kind of big frying pan.
Under the effect of the heat,grains of rice burst and swell up,same our popcorn.
A bamboo stick is used to mix rice and sand together.
After that,it's riddle for separate sand who will be heat up again and rice who will be mix with caramel.
After drop of temperature,rice coat with caramel could be cut in bricks and put in individuals sachets.
It's very good...!!
I opted sepia tones for this shot,which intensify the old aspect of these tecnique of manufacturing.
I kept a part of the stone wall,which shut the picture on the right,obliging the gaze to rebound on the person on the left.
In my opinion,this photo is more equilibrated like that.
(Sorry for mistranlations,my English isn't perfect..!!)

Yo Pascal!

Great photo. Composition very nice, full scene captured. Sepia tone perfect. Clarity and sharpness also very good.

Nice.

Bonjour Pascal,
Superbe image de la vie de tout les jours !
Excellent cadrage, belles teintes et superbe portrait de cet homme !
Félicitations,
Christophe

Hi Pascal,
I like the scene, the moment, but i don't like the PP work on it. I'm also wondering how was the original colour photo, or a simple and clean B&W conversion, this sepia/green efect disturbs me a little...
