The happening above.. Photo

Photographer’s Note

This farmer was working in the rice terrace. When vans of tourist came and the children around started bugging them to buy stuff, this man stopped working and started looking so attentively at what was happening above him.
Is he thinking about his own childhood and how things have changed ever since... For a second we can imagine that he is taking a trip to the past, to his childhood.

I just cropped the photo and did a automatic filtering. See the workshop what made him stop working..

The expression on the face is well captured, I suppose you could not have the man and the scene in the same picture itwould have been excellent one...

Good expression, sharpness and very nice blurred background Balla. I would have personally cropped tighter to the right and given more space to the left as i am hitting too soon the border pof the picture when following the look of his eyes. regards, michel.

Hi Bala,
Nice shot of the man reminising about his past. I like the way the background is blurred and the man is highlighted. Nice colours and sharpness.
See you around
Ranjith
