Transplanting rice in a paddy field in the Sichuan Basin near Chengdu, Sichuan province, China

A paddy field is a flooded parcel of arable land used for growing rice and other semiaquatic crops. Rice can also be grown in dry-fields, but from the twentieth century paddy field agriculture became the dominant form of growing rice. Paddy fields are a typical feature of rice-growing countries of east, south and southeast Asia, including Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam.

The word "paddy" is derived from the Malay word padi, rice plant

Hi Tsilla,
What a wonderful green colors in this picture!
Beautiful lines and composition.
The two people and their baskets are the finishing touch.
Well done my friend!

Hi Tsilla,

this is really nice shot of a rice field and workers harvesting the rice. What I like the most about this image is the pose of the workers - they are completely natural and that makes this image so interesting.

Good work.

Have a nice day,

Stasa

Hello Tsilla.
Excellent and good coloured picture of the Paddyfield.
The working people in it adds a lot.
Only a slight level adjusting to right is needed. (water level)
Thanks for the very good note.
Regards, Jan

Hello Tsilla,I am always surprised how cheerful the rice farmers seem to be;it can't be much fun standing in water for as long as they do!

A bright picture with the luscious green rice plants.
An interesting documentary shot.
Tfs, regards Jean.

Hello Tsilla,

Very nice working. But this shot is up root and transplant young rice plants, not harvesting rice.

Hi Tsilla. Great photo of women working in the paddy fields. Good composition, sharpness and clarity and a very nice note. I posted a similar photo of a paddy field with Indian women some months ago with a note as well. The rice is grown in flooded land to avoid competing weeds. Please look at it. http://www.treklens.com/viewphotos.php?l=3&p=446528

HI Tsilla
I love the expression of the lady who seems to enjoy being used as a model.
The colors are vivid and extremely sharp and really does take us to a rice field.
Well done

Hi Tsilla

A wonderful rich emerald green colour of the rice paddies with good sharpness, & saturation. The Chinese workers in the fields add scale, & a welcome human element. Tfs!
