Hello Miguel.
This is another beautiful daily life capture with the worker and the accumulated salt packed in the foreground. Good framing with uniquely designed hut in good details.
Thanks and have a nice day.

Inspite of the grey sky aloft, you managed a sharp image, Miguel, and a beautiful view on the working woman.
The hut madeof straw, looks interesting, with every thread shown separately.
Bonsoir,
Ike

when I was in bolivia there were many workers taking salt from the ground of the uyuni saltflat and I thought that wasn't so higienic. here I guess it is worst. very interesting image, the barneys covered with straw and the personage are perfectly shown. nice job.

Very capture of this lady working in salt pan. I wonder if she lives in the hut behind her. Good pov and dof with nice details. Great soft lighting. Well done, tfs.

Bonsoir Miguel
J'ai vu les salins du Gujarat mais jamais ceux du TN, et cette image me le fait regretter
Une bonne image bien construite et instructive grâce à ses maisons en chaume vraiment très spécifiques, cette femme absorbée par son travail, le tas de sel
Dommage que le ciel soit quelque peu surexposé
Bien vu et bien fait
Bien amicalement
Patrick

Salut Miguel,
Très intéressante photo qui nous montre la vie quotidienne de ce coin de pays. Dur travail que d'ensacher du sel manuellement, j'espère qu'elle ne travaille pas pieds nus. Beau contraste de couleurs avec les bâtisses de paille.
Félicitations!...
Emilius

Hello Miguel,
a very intersting scene captured with excellent clarity and lighting considering the moody and humid atmosphere. I like the deep view you've allowed at the side of the hut. The colours are natural and harmonious, the textures are rendered with superb accuracy. This work seems very hard and lonely for the woman. A great picture, well done and thank you!
All the best,
Ourania

Hello Miguel,

A strongly expressive composition that tells so much. I like the framing that depicts the hard life of the working old woman and the environment that surrounds her workplace. The colors, sharpness and clarity are all well balanced and very pleasing. Not an ordinary documentary shot, it has so many visual qualities too. I liked it. Thanks and best wishes,

Suleyman

Wonderful capture of back breaking work. Salt was once the highest valued product, up there with gold and sliver. Excellent color and light control and with great clarity. Love your POV Miguel, great job!!

Great shot, Miguel.
A rather exotic scene showing daily life of indigenous population, original huts of palm leaves. The colors are very nice.
Cheers
