Excellent picture! Great lines that lead the eye and give as a result an excellent composition. Great choice of b&w, make the picture look like it comes from a diferent era. Congratulations!

Very touchy note indeed. Good capture of daily life with that hard working man positioning right in the fram. B/W effect goes well with the grim condition of farmers of India, you depicted very well through your lens.

Hi Srini
I admired this shot already before but my ratings were up, so fine that with delay I still can express my appreciation for this perspective view of the faemer working on his land. A pleasant turn to green/sepia giving it an extra fine mood. I favor this one a lot.

Une image qui nous semble venir de la nuit des temps avec le sujet et les tons sépia. Cette façon de labourer était celle des anciens. Elle respectait la terre et l'environnement et en plus donnait un équilibre que l'agriculture moderne à rompu.

Hi Ishan,

I absolutely agree with you sepia use, this care for a great moment and great composition, also your angle is perfectly for perspective.

Very well done,

Hello.
A very well seen shot you have taken heree. The use of the sepia tone is well received. Good angle in the shot with a well place POV. The unusual shoulder angle contrasts with that of the dirt mounds in the background.
Very nice,
Chris

Hello Ishan,
Very touching picture of this man at hard labor. Many of your country's people that immagrated to Guyna have come to my hometown in Schenectady, NY and they have rebuilt many old homes in the inner city. Both my daughters are school teachers in Schenectady's schools and they say that the Indian people from Guyna are the hardest working students.
I love how you have framed this photo to this side and agree that the seipa works very well.
Regards My Friend,
Tom

Hi Srini,
It is quite interesting to know that all your pics are taken with a mobile camera... a pretty good result in the end though...
Nice daily life shot, and thanks for giving us a glimpse of rural india...

THIS IS A GREAT PHOTO WITH EXCELLANT LIGHTING ON THE SUJECT AND WITH A GREAT NOTE.
The only thing I would say would be to use a polariser filter to darken the sky next time. Or you could use a red/yellow filter if taking black and white photos.
Its because the sky is slightly over exposed and without a filter nothing can be done, unless you don't include the sky and take it at a different angle.
Talking about farmers, here in the image they work physically hard and I suspect there is no subsidies unlike the western world. Also in wesrtern europe they use massive machines and don't really do the physical hard labour as they do in your country.

Hi Srinivasan
A great shot of the farmer and his animals at work. I like how the trail they are following forms a lovely diagonal across the screen. The image is well framed and I like the sepia treatment. Nice work.
Best wishes

Hi RS,
A very nice and timeless scene, for that reason it's good that you turned it into sepia, and it probably allowed you as well to reduce the importance of an unattractive sky. Would have been even better framed a bit higher or wider in order not to cut the trees
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Hi Shrinivasan!
B/W sepia - perfect selection! Toiling for the bread - onother perfect selection! Some people use for the same job tons of gasoline, but the end comes. This man with his wide shoulders and his oxen will prevail in the long run when all oil wells will be exhausted... He will be our teacher in life stile, he will be our instructor in survival...
Great shot! A lot of meaning!
