BURMA

welcome to photo.net congrats. very good work

Very nice a reportorial photograph. Perfect framing and interesting atmosphere. Well done. Congratulations.

Superb. Congratulations!

Real rural life. Great!

There is so much I want to know about Burma which the military junta have renamed Myanmar. I am so happy to hear you call this country by it's real name: BURMA. This is the homeland of AUNG SAN SUU KYI, winner of the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize who was elected by popular majority President of her country, only to be put under house arrest for years by the military SLORC. She has just recently again been put under house arrest. They cannot afford to let her free and to speak freely. I know this is not a political site but I see so many beautiful pictures from Mayanmar and nobody every mentions AUNG SAN SUU KYI or shows any pictures of the political repression that has been going on in Burma for over a decade. This is a beautiful picture. In fact I am staggered by the beauty and the truth of your entire portfolio. Maybe you are the one to bring forward the truthful pictures about Burma.

Your work is masterful. I am affraid of what you could do with a medium or large format camera. The composition here could not possibly be better. The exposure is right on the money. There is a certin amout of softness to this that sparks the imagination. I would love to see this as a large print.

It is like a painting. Very beautiful.

I am dumbfounded by this photograph. Yes, it is like a painting, and yes, the composition is perfect. I love it, and everything about it that should be a flaw just makes the whole thing work. On a page with other photographs, this stands out dramatically.

Nice tones and light. Beautiful atmosphere.

Congrats.

The back light really helps this photo a lot, and I can see many resemblences to period canvases depicting rurual life in times gone by; cattle drawn wagons, little vignettes of daily life in the several areas surrounding the main subject, for instance, the figures just to the right of the cart driver, the figures in the background, the lone figure to the left, the pile of sticks in the foreground, etc. Rather than saying that the composition is good, I'd like to add that it's very complex and holds together very well across the many depths that lead into the image. It really is amazing. Also, considering the title, I don't think there is anything in the image that speaks of Burma to me, which furthers my appeal as I can easily place this scene in nearly any country in the unindustrialized western world of the 17th and 18th centuries.

A very good light that makes this shot outstanding !

Excellent work. The strong lighting, the dust, the haze in the distance all combine to give this an illustration work from a distance. Great shot!

The lighting in this photo is legendary....amazingly beautiful.Best of the best!!!! This picture worth a million words.....

This is stunning! Very interesting lighting, the dust, the detail of the figure on the left in red. Excellent work. 10/10

A great picture of a great country. Dreamland for a photographer!

Stunning image!

This photo brings me back sweet memory of this place. You seem to have applied considerable PS but the overall effect is still very satisfying. I am tempted to pose one with similar lighting but was a bit blurr (you prompted me to try PS - it may have a very different look) !

This is probzbly one of the most perfect pictures I have ever seen. It ressembles a Flemish painting of the 16th century.

Truely great photograph!!

Dear Photografers

My hopes again that you will be able to understand what I will write here (I'm shameful due to so many meastakes that I still do when writing English). Thanke you all for so many compliments (many of my collige Photographers calls me after they so it in our PHOTO.NET)Still I think that it is too much. Again thanks from the bottom of my hart.

 

I had been posted in the far east for three years one of the countries that I liked more to come was Burma. The reason for this love was due to the fact that the life there remain as it was happen to be from the time when Burma considerd and was called "the Perle of the world". For my bussines I went many time to a city by the name of "Mandalay" where the Tike wood arrives from north of Burma on the Irrawadi river pulled by oxes to the saw-mill. I took this Photo and similar more after I saw the intencive life over and after I knew what time I want it to be Exposed and what kind of film I'll be needed. Than I went with a... special bus...I could not have smaller car to take me there. I put in my camera Kodak filem 4200 ASA that is not existe any more with that very mach grains film I did this photo. There is very very littel PS works on the photo (just the frame that I WHAT did here

Michael, a little late, but never the less, welcome to the " Club"! Very well done. Pnina Evental
