Newari kitchen..., a photo from Bagmati, Central

Photographer's Note

In keeping with the crockery theme... ah, the Newars, the classic higher-caste of the Kathmandu valley. They are the 'old school' for the Bagmati. Nepal, a country with 75 districs and 53 ethnic 'strains'...

Totally weird yet enchanting blurry effect on the left side of the frame, closest to you. Sharp focus on the woman, a slight remulous motion blut around her hand. Great colors, what's not to like in this lovely portrait.
Another winner.

Yeah, i gotta agree with Francis about the blurry effect on the left, but i like the inclusion of the steam on the right hand side.
The colours are indeed very nice as is the sharpness of the woman.

Hola Caleb,
La nitidez en la figura de la mujer centra adecuadamente el interés en esa zona. Además la foto está muy bien compuesta y con óptimos colores.
Saludos,
Mirari.

Hi Caleb

Great capture of daily life. Very sharp with good color. Really nice light and the motion blur of her hand brings the image to life. Well done.

Flawless sharpness of the woman with an effective motion blur in the beautiful light from right side.
Very nice daily-life shot as always.
Regards,

Hi Caleb,

Jolie scène du quotidien, jolies couleurs.
Eh hop, dans mon thème "cuisines du monde".

Very strange composition to me: the "nice" right part and the right less saying part. It's not the unsharpness which bothers me, but rather - what I would say - the weak compo. I believe this scene had more in it.
Really not up to the high standards you showed us in your work during the last weeks.
