rush, a photo from Bali, Nusa Tenggara

Photographer's Note

in a traditional market in Kintamani, Bali
I saw this woman, bringing all the stuffs on her head (a friend of mine from Bali told me that almost every woman in Bali is taught to carry things on her head like this picture and and this picture ), while carrying her child.

Hi Cessy,
The motion in this picture is very good and really adds the rush you mention in the title. The PoV is also very good here and the B&W is well chosen. Just very well done!
Groeten,
Lars

Hi Cessy, a nice moment you have here with mother and child. Personally I would have liked a higher shutter speed to stop the action but you may have been going for the opposite effect. Once again the expressions you've captured are priceless. Nice shot Cessy!

Hi Cessy, This lady needs a car to carry all of her stuff. I am impressed by how many thing she can carry at one time. An acrobatic move!
I like the B&W treatment which show the "rush" mood as indicated in the title. A well taken picture.

Hi Cessy,
Now that is a balancing act challenge - to be able to balance the goods on her head and handle a young child simultaneously is incredible. I really like both the B&W and portrait formats you have used to render this image. Great clarity and human expression. This is very satisfying work, Cessy. You have captured this daily life scene at a decisive moment.

j'aime beaucoup votre photo.
la tension est palpable et contraste beaucoup avec le rel歊hement du b嶵�.
c'est tr鋊 bon.
