Photographer’s Note

As a part of the household chore, most housewives go to the hillock nearby to collect mostly dry leaves which they use as firewood.

I really loved
(a): the way she arranged the sticks in the basket so that she can fill more dry leaves...

(b): the way she carries herself balancing the basket on her head... see, no hands!

and (c): the characteristic Veil.

Hello Bishnu,
the habit of carrying things on their heads give the women a beautiful and gracious pose of the body. Your shot takes the graciousness of her and the colours are soft and tender.
Well done
Best regards

Hi Bishnu,
I like very much your shot!
All is armony: the soft colors and light... the composition with the leaves that frame the woman.
Very beautiful... it seems almost unreal!
Thanks for sharing

Hi Bishnu,
I like the way she is placed inbetween the two leaves on either side and also the simplicity of the shot. It is amazing how these ladies balance these loads on their heads with such precision.

Nice potrait. But i would have left more space between the woman and the left hand side, as the woman is going that way. But none the less, classic representation of Rural life in Orissa.

You have a poetic frame of mind and a painter' talent bapun! I love the way you treat the frame as a canvass and paint these lovely images

It is a tribute to hard working Indian women. Miles and miles for woods and water,,,,
No 'luxuries' of urban.
The pressence of tree, water, the colour of sareeand time-all perfect ingrediants.
Welldone.

Hello Misra
Very nice touch of red in this composition and the lights ambiance are very appreciable.
However you should frame the whoole subject in the field from a wider position.
Cheers.

Hello Bishnu
She is well positioned in the image and stands out nicely against the soft colors in BG. I like the inclusion of the palm leaves which have framed her naturally and to see the hill fading in the far.
Cheers
