Hi Leo,

very graceful capture. For me clarity is ok, maybe a little bit more of sharpness. I had the same problem with my new lcd monitor(still having). Difficult to set the luminosity. Well, the image is very well composed. I like it!
Regards,
Carlos

Helllo Andreas ,
A very interesting shot with woman an the water pipe.

Quite an interesting composition.

Hallo Andreas,
vielleicht hilft Dir diese Seitensammlung beim Einstellen.
Auf eine merkwürdige Art wirkt die Szene andachtsvoll, gar nicht so sehr nach rauchen (das Laster bin ich los). Sehr schönes Spiel von Licht und Schatten und gute "Pose" in tollem Format.
Ich habe etwas herumgespielt und glaube, dass Kontrast und Schärfe richtig stehen.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hallo Andreas,
The framing, composition is very good, i like that. The technical side; there is not much wrong here. The colour balance, detail and clarity is very good. Maybe the sharpness could be 10% more, but that's just a small detail, the overal image is pretty good.
Have a nice weekend, Henk

Hi Andreas,
An interesting daily life shot. The square format is good and I like the earth tones that extend throughout the image. Well seen and TFS. Gerald

Hey Leo

I think the WS is 100% better than this version as a composition as well as quality too, in my opinion, this version could've been posted as a workshop, but not necessarily, the WS is the real thing, I'm even surprised that noone has commented on it. So my positive comment goes for the ws. The pipe in the woman's hands is the highlight here, perfect example of a different life, where most things are done manually.

Hi Andreas!
A good shot at the smoking lady... I worry even if tobacco , coz this is very strong one, and caughing is most likely! She looks relaxing under the shade of a tree that gives nice little patterns... Colors are ok , maybe some more contrast was good too... new screen always change the view in the beginning

Une photo intéressante et un bon cadrage. Les couleurs et la luminosité m'apparaissent correctes (sur le WS, le contraste est peut-être meilleur mais des zones surexposées apparaissent sur la pipe)
Amicalement

Hallo Andreas!
Ein wunderschönes Foto - voller Hingabe an den Genuss (den ich nicht nachvollziehen kann ;-) Das Bild übermittelt das Gefühl von Ruhe und Entspanntsein sehr schön. Mach Dir keine Sorge über die Bildqualität - ich finde sie total in Ordnung. Übrigens, wer ist der junge Mann in Deinem Intro? ;-)
Grüße aus dem sonnigen Siegen - und ein schönes Wochenende!

That is some pipe she has, I like the WS also with the smoke from the charcoal but this is better composed.
Enjoy your new screen.

Hi Andreas
For me no problems with sharpeness and contrast :)
I suggest just a very light under exposure about -1/3.
This scene is very interesting
Very strange local Shisha :)
Cheers.

Hi Andreas,
Thanks for showing us these interesting habits from Myanmar. It doesn't appear very convenient to smoke :-)
Having some smoke could around could have added an interesting dimension to the picture... but anyhow I like it because it is true "telereality"
