[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Continuing on my series of these ladies and their heavy loads which they carry daily. This time in Hoi An. They could have been taking a break to chat or waiting for customers to sell their food to. In the background we can see some of the beautiful preserved architecture which Hoi An has to offer. The whole town is a world heritage site.

The weight is on women's shoulders, no doubt. You have captured this moment of break well with the three women lost in conversation. A great candid shot and a very good composition. Good work, Wanda! Regards,

Hi Wanda,
A lovely scene of daily life.Looks like the lack of customers has given the ladies a real change to sit and complain about how their men are at home watching the tv :-)Nicely composed to show a bit of their surroundings.The colour and detail are very good.

Hi Wanda,
Very nice and interesting street scene. It looks like what the lady on the left is telling to the lady on the centre is much more interesting to the one on the right. :D
It's full of life, quite eye catching and very effective as a documentary, by showing a bit of the life of those women and also the charming architecture of the houses.
Great clarity and colours!
Regards, José.

Hi Wanda,
Perfectly captured Asian scene. Details and quality are impressive. TFS

Hoi Wanda,
I am leaving next week to Peru, but after coming home i try to organize a trip to Vietnam and Cambodia next Feb. Seeing so many beautiful pictures from there i have to go. Also this one, it's simply beautiful in all his simplicity. The woodwork is wonderful carved and the yellow on the right gives perfect contrast to the darker colours.
Like the three woman sitting just talking....most be gossip stories ;-)
Mooie foto, ik mag zoiets graag zien.
Groetjes, Henk

Hi Wanda,
A typical street life scene, also showing some colonial architecture, with good colors, fine sharpness and interesting dynamism with them discussing something and not seemng to notice you..

Hi Wanda! Very nice daily life picture with very good light conditions. As you also noted, the house(?) at the background is magnificent!

Thanks for sharing

I adore this country for this reason, your photo, daily life and the everending pluse of movement

Hi Wenda,
This picture is really reflecting a moment of the Hoi An city's life... The composition is very nice by limiting the yellow wall and the wood structure....
The 2 ladies on the left seem to speak togheter as the other one at the right introduce herself in the conversation....
Nice life moment...
