Daily Supply

The nearest rivers are the main source of water supply to many

villages in this part of the world. I watched this young lady

clothes in her 'sunday best', collecting water from the river, then

pushing the heavy barrow homeward along the very bumpy track, water

spilling along the way.....

It works well cropped to square format.

The wheels are modern, the situation is from Midle Age. Beautiful picture, perfect light, nice crop.

An off center composition would have worked better here.

Hi Audrey,

 

You have the basis of a great shot here for my eye.

 

Some cropping would have helped my tastes, to me there is too much 'nothing' above the woman.

 

 

As for the exposure you have used, couldn't be better, lots of detail where it counts!!!! In many ways this is the brilliance of your image in my mind. by cropping and honing in on her facial expression, I feel we would get more of an idea on the person.

 

If I can be really picky without being there...it looks like a few paces to your left MIGHT have given you an angle that didn't have those two big attention sapping trunks in shot. I can't really say for sure though.

 

Great shot

Richard, Cristian, aurimas and Mike for your kind feed backs.

 

Aurimas & Mike, I clicked the one shot as soon as I saw her, thereafter, she went to the river's edge sat and rested!

Mike, I didn't think of cropping more of the tree-top till you mentioned it. You are absolutely right there. Thank you very much.

Excellent PJ shot. The light seems a bit harsh, sorry to say. Did you sharpen it? I am not sure if that is what I am seeing, but I think that might be what is causing the pixels to look a bit squarish and like dots. ummmmmm, maybe just me.

keep smilin'

Nice picture Audrey!

Definitely nice work Audrey. It is a shame that you didn't have the opportunity to play a bit more with the subject because I think Mike's points are good ones. Of course its all with the benefit of 20-20 hindsight, but some other angles might have given some more energy to the image. Don't get me wrong, though, there's LOADS to like about it. Its got great details and color and I do like the sense of hard labor you see in the woman, based on her face. Is this western China, because the woman seems almost Siberian in her looks? Or am I just nuts? I like it. Nice work.
