Photographer's Note
Taken in Senaru village in north Lombok island which is well known for its traditional 'ikat' weaving cloth with silver thread and other special ornaments, produced on old looms by the women of the native Sassak people. This work of art is pass down from mother to daughter at the very young age - one of the tradition is, if the girl can do the weaving, so she can get married. The distinctive cloths interestingly, are now experiencing a resurgence of interest because of their natural look as more traditional plain chequered styles are being superseded by more gaudy creations.
She's in deep concentration lit by the natural outdoor warm light of the morning - the one valuable element that I really loved to register while I tried to stay true to what I saw.........
Setting: 45 mm, 1/25 sec, F4.5, ISO Raw 200, 0838 hrs

A colourful display of weaving wonders - the pride of Sasak community who have managed to sustain their traditional way of life for generations.

Hello abmdsudi
I didn't see much of Lombok other than Kuta Beach and Sengigi Beach and a prior trip to Bangsal to get a boat to the Gili Islands. Good documentary shot of the woman seen here on her loom. Tfs!

Bonjour Abmdsudi,
Cela doit être tout un travail juste pour se rentrer les jambes sous le métier à tisser, tellement il est près du sol. Mais un coup rendu, la position semble confortable. Magnifique portrait.
Amicalement

Hello Abmdsudi, the young woman is deep in concentration as she weaves her brightly coloured cloth, and it makes a charming scene.
Especially viewed alongside the w/shop picture of those beautiful lengths of fabric.
Did you use a vignette here? Or is it just a natural darkening around the subject?
Lovely work.
Regards Jean.

Hello Abmdsudi
Great scene from daily life behind the loom, but also a picture with humour. The bare feet of the girl in this position are a great bonus for the image.
I also like you beautiful close up workshop with an attractive focus on the rich colours of the weaving wonders.
Have a nice Sunday. Groet Rob

Hi, Abmdsudi.
Splendid portrait of this young woman, while working weaving that colorful fabric, highlights her concentrated face at work, her work sitting on the floor, does not stop surprising.
Colorful, sharpness and brightness are captured excellently.
Very good composition, magnificent presentation.
Good afternoon and happy start of the week.
Warm greetings.
