Again a hard working woman from Peru,location: Lake Titicaca Uros Island.

This type of hat symbolizes she is married.

Like in my previous photo's, same story about this interesting Island and its inhibitants.

(More information to be found in my other Peru/Titicaca
shots in here)

Thank you for your attention again.
Have a wonderfull weekend;
Vandana *_*

ps
Sometimes I see photo's with a nice last line, I like to add this:

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day;
teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.

Hello Vandana,
This is a beautiful portrait of this woman in Peru. I like the colorful dress against the background. Also, I like the capture of her movement at work.

Bonjour Vandana, quel beau témoignage de vie, merci.
Je me demande si c'est le même type de pierre que celle à Machu Picchu, en t k cette pierre a travaillé fort pour être rendu si ronde, vraiment impressionnant.
J'aime beaucoup son vêtement vert.
Il y a tout un monde entre eux et nous qui les regardons dans nos ordis!
Merci beaucoup pour cette belle photo.

Great shot Vandana, sharp, clear, colourful and great composition.
Thanks for sharing.

Hi Vandana, lovely and interesting view of daily life, splendid composition with great colors, I like the expression of the woman, very well done, have a nice week end, ciao Silvio

Good shot here, Vandana! Well composed, well metered, although perhaps a quick pass of the dodge tool over her face would bring out her features more? I live the little hat!
I can't get over the sharpness of this shot. It's fantastic!

Hi Vandana,
I'm a jewelry person and the first thing I noticed was no rings, then I read the notes and found out that her HAT, is the symbol of her marriage!!! A tradition probably started by a man!!! (^-^)!!!
Wonderful photo, great colors, composition, and clarity, I like the hat extending into the frame!
Thanks for sharing,
Fran

Wow Vandana, dit is weeer een prachtige plaat!
(you puzzle that out ok ?) Is the Lady related to you , since you both have dark eyes ...;-) A pleasure to see this! Have a good weekend !!

Hi Vandana
Wow what a shot! makes us think!
Great capture and colors

Tricia

How effective she works. We spent fortunes since our Ladies at home need the most expensive stuff like dishwashers and magnowaves and such, this Lady looks to me to be the perfect Housewife(is she single Van,
do you know maybe ?) TFS good weekend and TC
Rob

Hi Vandana,

Hi Vandana,

Hello Vandana an interesting shot of a photo which has a story, well composed with good technical aspects tfs rgds Necip

Hello Vandana

What strikes me is how dark this woman skin is. There must be a lot of Sun in this region of Peru. The other think that strikes me is that she is working outside. What does their houses look like ? Do you have any pictures?
I like your Peru pictures a lot. You could publish an interesting book out of them.

Regards, Sylvain

Very nice shot Vandana! She really looks like an Indian! Nice color saturation! I like how her hat pops over the border!

Great real life capture that truly shows how hard this woman works
Great colours and details, good framing

Grinding corn, I presume. Quite different from us going from the deep freeze to the microwave and get a meal on the table within minutes. Colorful and informative picture.
Cheers

the saying is actually wrong: it ends with: teach a man to fish and he will drink all day next to the water... :)
beautiful capture of the mood!

She makes a nice picture, but her face tells volumes about the trails and tribulations of her life. Nice capture.

Hi Vandana...
Compliments to your 'Hard working Women of Peru', very nice capture,
well dan.
George

I see here the basalt tool that used in Middle East in ancient time! And very beautiful pottery!
Thank you!

Hi Vandana,
I was here...on one of the many floating Uros islands last September.
The villagers were too busy trying to sell the tourists their handicrafts that I didn't see anyone doing any actual work. Your photo brought back good memories. Did you notice that the Uros women tend toward obesity? I wonder whether that is related to their being confined to a space covering less than one-quarter of a football field. And exercising only their arms?
