Photographer's Note
She is very pretty and popular among the tourists in Okinawa. We can see her at Taketomi Island, Okinawa.
Taketomi is a very small island without train or bus, but it has the typical Okinawan style old houses and the peaceful atmosphere, so lots of tourists from the main islands of Japan visit there every year (but almost ppl join the one day trip from Ishigaki Island). Her job is pulling an ox-cart w/several tourists around the small island. Just for sightseeing.Her walk is very slow, but it is like the pace of island. Her job must make her tired out, because the cart is very heavy to pull under the hottest sun.
So now she is falling asleep in her free time. The face is just like dreaming, though she has to work again soon.

Hello Noriko.
Nice composition, very nice sharp focus on the ox, background is beautifully and slightly out of focus.
A bit bad you missed the top part of the horn, but i guess you didn't have much of a choice.
Colours look nice, it is a bit dominant with all the dark colours but the red flower on the ox adds a lovely "break" to this.
Thanks for sharing.
