artisan at work, a photo from Bagmati, Central

Photographer's Note

While I was wandering at the artisans quarter in Bhaktapur I have time to search and watch how they work and sometimes with the help of a boy guide to ask questions

This woman called my attention because she was dressed in the traditional way but have a modern plastic wristwatch and also new glasses

She was working near the smiling girl of my previous post but she was so concentrated that I didn't dare to disturb her

Good shot on this character, expression and facial features well-played by the play of light and color, a clear picture, a successful portrait.

Hello Maria,
When many TE users, including me, are only dreaming of visiting such an interesting country as Nepal, you have been there and taken a lot of excellent pictures. This one shows pieces of traditional Nepalese applied art and one of the artists. A very colorful, high-quality, well-framed and masterfully composed image!
Best regards,
Sergiy

Hola Mar燰,
captaste perfectamente la concentraci鏮 de esta artesana en su trabajo, en una escena muy natural y espont嫕ea.
Los c嫕taros aportan un bonito grafismo a la imagen, y es interesante el contraste entre el vestido tradicional de la mujer y el toque de modernidad de su reloj de pulsera y sus gafas.
Una foto bien vista, y bien realizada.
Un abrazo,
Josep

Hola Maria.
Que imagen mas esplendida, me encanta esta se隳ra realizando con tanta atencion su labor de artesania, me pregunto si esas piezas seran huchas?.
A la vez has obtenido un magnifico retrato de la se隳ra, con su vesturario caracteristico de su region, que con su vistoso colorido, da mucha fuerza a la composicion.
Perfecta nitidez para recrearse en los detalles, la luminosidad esta bien utilizada, todo ello da un colorido justo, muy agradable.
Un abrazo.
Luis.

P/D. Pues hoy... he comenzado la serie sobre Grecia, que ir� alternando los diferentes lugares e islas que visit�. Espero te guste.

Hola Maria
Once again you show us those piggy banks (we call them the pot of Goddess Lakshmi, the Hindu Goddess of wealth) & the lady in action with the knife cutting the slit on the top part through which the coins would be inserted. It is awell balanced composition that you've achieved with the lady off-centre balanced with her creations. well done!
Best Regards

Hi Maria
Good daily life shot but refreshingly calm image and she seems not to be bothered, a dedicated porter in her natural environment. I simply love the vivd colors. striking contrast and detail you have included in this image. A good spotted, and bright tones brightens the day for sure with good extras elements effectively lead the eyes into the scene smoothly. A well taken shot indeed and nicely presented. Great work, Congrats.

I like the old pots I wonder what they are used for?
The colours of the ladies dress attire stands out well against the surroundings.
Excellent POV.
