Photographer’s Note

A pair of nuns at the Barsana monastery of Maramures share the task of carrying a basket out to do their gardening.

She in gloves was clearly in charge of the project.

I liked the uninterrupted sea of neatly cut grass that makes up the center of the complex as a backdrop. I left the flowers in because everyone needs a goal to work towards.

Hello Clifton,
The dark attire of the nuns against the green grass and also the game with shadows and light give a very nice composition.

Hi Clifton, An intersting way to play the sunlight. The sadow on the ground well contrast with the green grass. The two persons in dark makes a very well contrast on the top of the shadow. A well composed picture withe nice contrats and sharpness.

Hi Clifton, here you did a very good composition, with the nuns in movement, in the bottom left side (not centered), and in the top right corner, the pink flowers. The dark green shadow also helps to full the background. Very good work. Best regards.

Hi Clifton,
I doubt their goal is really the flowers :). But it works as a composition. The black fabric against the green grass works well, gives this picture a pretty graphical touch.

This is one of those really simple pictures that works perfectly. Almost graphical, love it.

Original shot, nice idea !
I like the combination of the nuns and the flowers on the "other side", they are that fine details, I like it !
