Lottery tickets Photo

Photographer’s Note

Selling lottery tickets is one of the most popular career , there's no need of training or investing, but the sellers would be pressed more and more by the end of a day, when the closing time coming and the daily results would be announced at 4:30PM...
I came by a cafe shop in Mui ne, it was totally empty, the last ray dropped on the hammocks, made some amazing curves, where a woman sitting in the last range, counting the left tickets.

Beautifully lit and contrasting curves against a black background draws the eye to the subject. Good note that adds to a telling photo. I like the texture and colour of the shot.

Hello Hoang
Wonderful play of light & shadow & as you said the rays of the sun created some amazing curves. The woman's face is lit & even if we do not see her face, it seems that she's concentrating on her counting. This is an excellent portrait shot!

Hi Hoang. Another unusual and strong work from you. Excellent interplay of light and shadow.The figure of the woman concentrating on the tickets is amazing for both the body language and for the light that brightens her. Excellent. Regards. Klaudio

Hi Long,
Incredible opportunity, which you took the best of, and TFS :) I love the flat view composed by those clear-cut patterns. What's amazing is to see such a mysterious figure right at the spot where it fits the maze of the hammocks. Quality real thing,
Regal, F'

I don't understand why this picture have only gotten 22 points. The light and shadows are excellent, the composition fantastic. One of my favorite shots on this site.
Thanks for posting.
