Photographer’s Note

Pulling off the road with a motorbike I saw this man working in the rice fields. I approached and asked for a shot. He obliged, I clicked a few and then drove on.

Nice close up, Caleb.
The wrinkles of the face and the expression full with kindness make this portrait very sympathetic.

The detail on his face is incredible to look at-- combined with a pleasing rural backdrop. It's amazing how people will open themselves up to a stranger's camera for a few fleeting seconds.

I like the composition,I like the green tone in the background but I think you need more light on her face!

A true moment of happiness is coming from this great portrait.
Through your comments, it seems that you travel a lot with a motorbike and I think it is a very good way of meeting people and sharing nice moments with them (and us)
