nice shot cessy, good composition i like the clouds hovvering around the mountains on the top. i think that the picture could be improved if the lady was either lighter, so you could see more detail or closer to the camera, either way her face would be lighter! well done though

Great light on this capture of daily life. The mountain in the background helps to create a beautiful scene

Hi Cessy,

Beautiful composition. I like the framing and the reflects on the water. The colours are pretty sweet too. Well done ;o)

Hello Cessy,
Tr鋊 belle image, j𠿟dore cette lumi鋨e chaude qui semble caresser la surface de l𨬓au et le corps de cette courageuse femme.
Ca a l𠿟i terriblement lourd son attirail.
Un magnifique cadrage vertical, suberbe ciel aussi !
La colorisation est parfaite Cessy !
Un grand bravo
Amicalement,
S嶵astien

Greetings Albrecht

Hi Cessy,
hard work, hard living conditions... but wonderful light and colors !
The reflection is nice, too.
I prefer this one.

aferrao (1145) 2005-07-07 10:01

Still like it!
As the other one shows us more about the sorroundings, this one gives more attention to the woman. I like both!
Greatings, Artur Ferr緌.

Hi Cessy, A nice close up shot with the hardship of carry heavy load walking in the water clearly shown in this picture. A nice shooting angle to show the sunlight and the reflection of the figure. Well done.

SophieL (6042) 2005-07-07 12:18

This is beautiful again Cessy (I feel I could say that on all your picture). I love the landscape, the warm light, the cloud on the mountain, the reflection in the water. And yet, in the midst of all this beauty, this woman is working, and working hard I guess, to earn her living. So it's a picture that is both beautiful, but instructive and thought-provoking. Well done.

Joaquin (422) 2005-07-07 13:03

Absolutamente maravillosa esta foto. Muy buen trabajho Cessy, felicidades. Joaquin

kinginexile (2598) 2005-07-07 13:09

Though it's losing a bit of the nice tone that cast your previous shot, I must admit that I find this one better, Karina, because the woman is less a prop in your shots, and despite the loveliness of the setting, we are faced with the realization of a strenuous day starting again.

nwoehnl (122) 2005-07-07 15:27

Again the lovely morning light in this one, Cessy. This one is good as it now clearly makes the hard-working woman the main subject of your photo, at the same time still retaining the beautiful landscape context with the low-hanging clouds in the back.

jrzufferey (7305) 2005-07-07 16:16

Salut Cessy, Belle cette lumi鋨e du soir qui dore et r嶰hauffe les couleurs. Je trouve ton trvail magnifique. Cioa/jr

Hi Cessy,
You've captured this woman again very well, I think. Great reflections in the water and the lighting is very good too. Well done.
Groetjes,
Lars

singuanti (15250) 2005-07-07 22:26

Hi Cessy. A different POV is always nice. This shot is bursting with beauty. The rippled reflections look great as does the cloud on top of the mountain. Nice shot Cessy.

PixelTerror (0) 2005-07-08 2:10

Hi Cessy,
This one is fine too, with beautiful reflection and excellent rendering of the wqter movement, plus a very enjoyable light. Nice little toy, this 350D, eh ?
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Rockyboy (20598) 2005-07-08 16:40

I like very much the morning light here, espacially on the clouds and her baskets. The reflection is great too. Well done, Cessy!

ChrisJ (171220) 2005-07-09 3:30

Hi Cessy
A very beautifull picture. But Composition is perfect with the woman and the clouds in the back.The light is really beautifull.
Nice work.
Bertrand

alekpet (4663) 2005-07-11 3:14

I preffer this from the previous photo with the same subject.
Strong foreground object paired with the beautiful background scenery.
Reflection is great.

Greetings

gringofil (0) 2005-07-11 11:19

I think this one is even better than the last shot. Here you managed to get even closer to the action and the way the warm light falls on her face and clothing really makes the image. This could be a wonderful stock image. Good work!

alainh (33209) 2005-07-12 5:35

Bonjour Cessy.
encore une bien jolie prise de vue.
des 2 propos嶪s, je prefere la verticale, qui met plus en valeur la porteuse d'eau inclue dans ta composition ce joli nuage. le coup d zoom est tres bon.
amicalement
alain

cam (9043) 2005-07-12 22:08

Hello Cessy
Beautiful composition,we can see the expression on the face of the lady and it is hard work.
Very expressive photo.
Charles

Another place I wasn't as successful as you were. I guess the time of the day is helpful too : the lighting is simply gorgeous, specially how it makes the basket glitter with waterdrops.

That golden lighting is so beautiful when opposed to colder bluish tones of the water surface. A delight to look at.

rabani (9645) 2005-10-16 20:33

Your trademark of getting a person to showcase your scene.I came from the rural where I'd to port water just like this for the kitchen. Reminiscence of being a Javanese.
