Field artist at work.

Any comments welcome.

Part of a series on planting rice:Color and Black and White.

The crop (rice?) in the foreground gives a nice sense of depth. Maybe you could have placed it a little to the left, to get an extra diagonal between it and the person.

I didn't think of turning that line in the mud to the left into another diagonal.

 

I guess I was too busy trying to compose by the book, getting the planter a third of the way into the frame and the rice stocks positioned as a foreground center of interest.

 

Thanks for pointing that out. You're facing the same constraints and situation everytime you shoot in a rice field and diagonal lines are a nice compositional element.
