[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This picture was shot in the historical Acadien village of Caraquet. I took many pictures that day, but this particular photo had a certain nostalgical mood..i've called it "a look at the past", cause that's the sense it give me. This women could have being a great grant mother..at a distant time.

Available light, no flash.

Hi Deis,your image looks like an Old Masters painting,I like the light & shadows capture with the natural light.

I like the general atmosphere of this picture, it really thought of Flemish primitive painting.
But I regret the position of character. For this I give you a little man smiling and not two, I hope you understand.

Furthermore, the history of the Acadian minority in canada is very little known and I appreciate that you let us remember.

Thx.

Bonjour Denis,
Très belle composition! J'aime beaucoup la position de la femme qui jette un regard à l'extérieur
La luminosité est superbe et le contre-jour particulièrement bien réussi.
Magnifique|

We must think alike because I love it!! I think it's a perfect capture and reminds me of the women checking to see either the children outside playing or to see if the men are coming in from the field for lunch. Very nice lighting. VERY nostalgic!!! I have added this to my favorites, it brings back memories and yes, makes me think of my ancestors. TFS

This is great! I love the theme. Beautiful colors and lighting.

Hi Denis,
I looks like a Dutch painting : )

Hello Denis. Beautiful composition shotting against the light giving the right ambiance in the room. Well placed subject and perfectly exposed creating the mood here. Well done and best regards. Jusni

Hi Denis, I'm glad you picked this one to share with us,it does indeed speak to us----there is something really nostalgic about it--and you have managed the lighting perfectly----this is a lovely image---Lynne

Beautiful nostalgic image! Great atmosphere.

Paying another visit at your gallery...
I've missed this one, the use of light drives me to the celebrated Veermer's painting "The milkmaid".
Simply astonishing.
Many thanks for sharing
Ciao, Antonella

Bonjour Denis,

J'aime beaucoup la lumière de cette photo, elle me fait penser à un tableau. Je ne sais pas si ça me dérange ou pas de ne pas voir son visage, j'aimerai voir les deux. La poto me plait comme elle est.
Amicalement,
Olivierf

hello denis,

Richard

Hi Denis!
It looks like a painting. Very nice composition with good lights. You choose a good POV. I like the details; these old kitchen equipments, the lady's costume and the mood of your photo as well.
Thanks for sharing!
