Photographer's Note
.
I was lucky to shot this in a tiny village on Long Son Island, off Vung Tau town, where they recently built a bridge after so many years. Due to the lack of connection to mainland, this isolated and remote island still maintain the old tradition as this photo shows a kitchen where the old woman has to use natural light while sifting rice or for her other daily activities.

this is pretty amazing Nhiem... pretty and creppy at the same time. Odd athmosphere, almost like a voodoo scene, very well captured.
To be honest Nhiem, it's a shame that you don't give more from yourself to the community... your photos are very good and you deserved more critiques... but you just gave 1 till now, it's normal that the memebers stop writing... Give in order to receive.

Hi Nhiem
This is the light which Vietnamese call to take from the sky well as in Europe is the light from peak of dome. It is very impressive, very nice. Well composition. Best regards

Well done.

Beautiful shot. everything in place wonderfully and the detail of the baskets hanging about the beams add nicely to the composition which is already perfect.I like this very much.

Totally wonderful. Those shafts of light are just amazing, and the fact that it is in such a visually interesting place is just great.
Fantastic picture.

Another stunning photograph. I don't tell you anything new when I say the beam of light, shining through the roof is fantastic. It makes it mystical and spooky, yet beautiful.
Cheers Sarah

Although the place is simple and modest, the atmosphere of the scene is somewhat magical like from an ancient story.
Very beautiful.

very interesting the way she gets natural light. i posted a workshop for a more contrast view and less details.

The lighting in this photo is superb. While this seems to be a hard life from my perspective, the woman seems to have a smile on her face. The composition of this photo is great with the baskets, hats, and the bones of the building. Excellent job! Thanks for sharing.

Absotulely an amazing photo, with the right balance between lights and shades, even the smoke add a fascinating touch. The kind of photo I wish to achieve myself!

Excellent shot. You've captured the natural light coming through the roof without sacrificing the reflected light that lights up the room and allows you to see the rest of the kitchen. I disagree with some of the other comments that the long format of the photo is undesirable. I don't think there is any other way you could have cropped this photo without sacrificing the aesthetic of the long shaft of light filtering down from above. Very, very nice.

Don't know Nhiem which of you mysterious light photos I liked the most, so I stick to that one.
Very good elaborated POV giving the sensation of harmony and tranquillity!
Congratulations, the game of the lights was on your side!
