Man, I love to see that broom moving! it makes it more real than real!! All that's missing is some dust fumes coming up...Well, we can see the dust, but you get what I mean.
I love it,
Marc

Hi Caleb!
This one makes me laugh! Nice one! Great low perspective. I think you were both crouching. A classic! Regards,

One of your prefered position to shoot: sitten on the ground !
gives a nice POV. Nice sharpness on the lady and just enough blur on the broom in motion
A classic of indian streets

Hi Caleb,
The main elements here are her arms and the broom, together they form a unity that keeps the composition together. Colours and sharpnes also contributes to the high value of this photo!
Kind regards

HI Caleb,
I like this daily life scene. very well-captured. The woman unaware of the photographer, going through her routine, the frame of the door and those yellow tones...good job, congrats!

Hello C, how are you buddy? It does me good to study or comment on any of your masterful portraits - they are so solid, so "right". Here the secret of course is the way you use the "sweep" of the broom across the horizontal frame. Master of the 24-70, hands down, as I say.
Cheers,

A great action portrait here - i like that you show her surroundings and expression all in one. A shot a lot of people would see but never get the courage to take.
Well done!!
Dave

I suppose you got very low for this one. Tremendous shot, Caleb.

ninaL (19646) 2009-05-14 11:49

Hi, Caleb.
Excellent and impressive scene in the middle of the "action". Unusual attitude of the body of this old woman.
Best regards. Grazyna.

Excellent crop, we are really on the floor with her. Colours are top, I like this all yellow dotted with red.

salut Caleb,
superbe image de vie quotidienne, j'aime beaucoup ce témoignage simple. Techniquement le cadrage serré est impeccable et la vitesse d'obturation permet d'avoir un brin de vie très sympa.

Excellent tonal qulaity her Caleb and with your low POV capturign the motion in the sweeping broom across the bottom of the frame. nice!

Hi Caleb,

One of the best photos I have seen lately - still catching up after so much time spent away from home.

I would be ready to make a deal with you and have this one in my portfolio, in exchange of any given dozen of mine... :-P)

The colours - only warm ones - are stunning. Your low level angle and perfect "slow" shutter make the shot.

Impressive and touching,

Andre
