All your images are looking better these days, Sayed. This one has very good clarity and a good DOF. Very nice shot indeed!

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?

Hi, Sayed....

Planting paddy saplings doesn't look like much fun.

Your photographs are very interesting. The subject matter in this one is amazing to a city boy like me from Midwestern USA. Good capture of the reflection in the muddy water. Great colors, and I especially like the vertical contrast of the palm tree trunks in the background.

A good shot with plenty of cultural emphasis, but with that variety of colors in the women's clothing, I think I would have waited until they were all in the sun, stepping down the exposure a little so the highlights wouldn't burn out, and getting loads of bright colors. I think I would have crouched down as well, to get a lower level photo and to crop in a little tighter After all, the main subject matter is the women and what they're doing. The best shots are often the ones taken from unusual angles. A good eye. Keep 'em coming.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.

One of your best. This one is full of life and color. There is nothing modern here, it's been done the same since planting began.

So colourful! I always worry about the strain on these poor womens backs. I am going to look back through your pics to see if I can spot the same women and how they have or havent aged. ( so curious lol)
