[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
She is a rice farmer. Shown with freshly pulled rice seedlings, she is ready to transplant them onto prepared and irrigated fields. There is a methodical system to rice planting, she would pull two or three seedlings and stick them onto the muddy ground within the confines of mud levees. I watched her for a good while. She has a back-breaking job.

Although a polarizer was used, I could not prevent the mid-day glare and reflection from the sun. PP work included tone mapping using Photomatix.

si petite dans un espace et face à un travail immense
les terrasses, les reflets dans l'eau, les jeunes pousses vert tendre, et cette femme qui dans un instant se courbera pour continuer son travail fatigant; tout cela donne plus qu'une belle photo...

A fantastic entry for the weekly theme. Great POV. Subtle reflections and a superb loneliness from the woman.
Best regards,

Danilo, thanks for showing this ... I find these rice field shots enlessly fascinating, as I've never had a chance to see with my own eyes.
Great lines throughout the shot with the levees. Love the reflection of the sky and clouds in the water too.
Back-breaking work indeed ... I wouldn't last very long I'm afraid.
Have a nice weekend
Trudy

Hi Danilo,

An artistic capture of the rice field! The worker gives life to th shot along with beautiful green colored rice saplings, which enhance the beauty of the shot immensely. Great use of the natural light.
Well done, my friend!

thanks and regards,
Paras

Hello Danilo,

Great shot as always
Enjoy the day
Mariana

Hello Danilo,

This is such an original shot, to me.
The focal person is perfectly placed in the strong area of the frame but she is ably supported by the curved mud walls and the lovely reflections which make this such an interesting shot.
Fine comosition and dof.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hi Danilo,
what a stunning scene of wet rice field.
The composition and colors are great. Nice placement of the farmer woman.

Yopie

Excellent shot - good POV and good placement of the woman in the frame. The reflections in the water are well captured, I like the touch of the reflected power pole (or is a cellphone relay tower?) - a fitting detail in a shot that could otherwise be so timeless.

A tighter crop would also work with this, eliminating the more distant elements in the upper right corner and keeping only the nearest terraces.

Hi Danilo,

Excellent contribution to the People at Work theme, I'm sure that her's is backbreaking. The thing I like the most in this shot is the pattern created by the mud levees. Great POV and thanks for showing us a daily life scene from another part of the world.

Hello, Danilo -
Love this shot! The whimsical curving patterns of the paddy walls, the reflection of the sky in the pools of water, the bright green chutes - all excellent. Wonderfully sharp and perfectly exposed. Great!

Hello Danilo! Excellent scene, amazing field. Perfect POV and exposure. Great effect. Good luck!

Hi Danilo, I always enjoy seeing rice paddies and the best ones are on terraces so there is a lot to like about this image. It is amazing that terreces made from earth can remain in pllace for so many years. Good clarity and colour, and the well positioned worker sets it off well. tfs. Murray.
