Hi Marilyn,
good picture showing the peace of this rural area. Hard to imagine that it can be so rudely attacked by fate.

Tres belle image, ca mereplonge sur les routes birmanes ou je m'arretai aussi assez souvent pour photographier ce genre de scene. Tres belle lumiere. Bon sejour a Paris ou le soleil est au rendez vous ces jours-ci !

Salut Lyn,
Ils etaient sympa toute la bande, et nous saluaient en rigolant... Le cadrage vertical va bien a la sceneavec la charette au fond qui donne de la profondeur..Le vert pomme est pratiquement fluorescent, et on voit bien son visage bien qu;il soit dans l'ombre.
Keep it up!
;D

Hello Marilyn,
Great captured shot. It's not only the woman you caught perfectly, the whole picture is bathing in a wonderful composition. Her pose, the way you used the elements and the different layers of colours make this one to be a very good one.
Your work is really making progress...keep it up.

It's nice to see you posting again, Marilyn, and with such a vivid capture of Burmese farm life. The woman is captured is a great spontaneous pose and the context is very authentic. regards kevin

Hi Marilyn. The sad stories of Myanmar still dominate our news broadcasts along with the tragedies in China. I think the biggest tragedy is the help these people so desperately need is being denied them by their own people. Great photo, way better than what we see on the news broadcasts. I only hope it will return to this sooner rather than later. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Bonjour Marilyn,
Ton image est superbe, et dans ce contexte, émouvante. J'aime bien la vue de cette femme surprise dans une belle attitude. Devant cette scène paisible, on a du mal à imaginer l'ampleur de la catastrophe. Beau et bon travail.
Bonne journée et bon week-end
Amicalement

Bonjour Marilyn
Intéressante scène de la vie quotidienne et un commentaire très touchant envers ce peuple qui a souffert.
Je me permets de dire que je m'insurge contre ceux qui désirent voir des images des catastrophes en Birmanie et en Chine.
Amitiés.

bonjour Marylin
une scene de vie quotidienne très bien cadrée, j'aime bien le reflet de la personne et surtout la charrette en arrière plan .
espérons que le Myanmar se remettra progressivement du dernier malheur qui c'est abattu sur le pays.

Hi Marilyn!
A well composed image from Birma`s countryside.The oxcart in the distance gives the image a good depth and I like the wellsaturated green tonesof the riceplants.
The tragedy with the cyclone was terrible but for me this rotten government is more terrible.
Now after yesterday`s news ,I hope the international help will reach these people very fast.

Hi Marilyn,
a nicely framed shot in a well chosen vertical format. Very well composed with the cart also included. The light is perfectly managed and it is great that is possible to see also her face covered with tanaka paste.
Very nice one and also a great note.
Have a pleasant Sunday!

Salut marilyn,

Superbe, quelles couleurs !
J'adore ta compo.
Difficile en effet de se dire que la nature a fait tant de ravages quand tout paraît si paisible...
Bon we

Une belle image et maintenant c'est l'horreur dans le delta et ça empire chaque jour ! Quel régime abominable... Ceci dit, ta photo respire la paix, l'harmoniie et la tranquillité (qui doit probablement régner à Mandalay),
C'est bien de dédicacer cette photo aux survivants, malheureusement je ne sais pas ce qui peut les aider davantage vu les circonstances actuelles, ta photo a le mérite de nous rappeler le problème pourtant...
Amitiés,
Cath.

Bonjour Marilyn,

Tout est désormais désolation, cette ressource indispensable dévastée, véritable drame humain avant tout et économique. Le titre de ta photo est tout à fait évocateur sur la situation qui n'est malheureusement pas aidée par le régime politique. Belle photo dédicace à ce peuple, le format vertical est judicieux donnant plus d'impact aux différents plans de l'image. Merci Marilyn

Avec toutes mes amitiés et passes un bon séjour sur la capitale,

Jean-Charles

Indeed the typhoon was a terrible tragedy for these long-suffering people but the even bigger tragedy is the help the survivers so urgently need is being denied to them. Let's hope and pray things improve soon. You must feel the tragedy even more having shared your life with the people.
Excellent shot of the woman working in the rice fields. The vertical format works well to include the old cart in the background. Good work

Hello Marilyn,

A first rate example in photojournalism, and also very very sad. The quality of of the photograph is surpassing, exquisitely composed, flawlessly exposed. Perhaps I am reading into it but there is a sadness in the woman's face that prefigures the disaster to come. What lush green rice plants, and what a calamity to visit the area. I would like to join in your sentiment of sympathy to the survivors — they are the one's to feel sorry for, not those who perished.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hi Marilyn!
I see you're back! Very good shot you have here. The pose of the woman, the different colours of the fields and the cart in the background. Very good composition with very good sharpness and colours.
Also an excellent homage to the people of Myanmar!!

Bonjour Marilyn
That's a real long gap for a new post! A fine shot with the lush green of the paddy. The cart in the FG & the soil colour contrasts beautifully. She'd seen you taking the shot, but I like how you brought out details of her face from under the straw hat. Well done!
Best Regards
Angshu

Hello Marilyn,
what a pleasant view and a what a sad reminder. But the capture is really nice, wonderful brightness, she is standing there at the right position and the colours are lovely. Now there seem to be a chance for accepted help from outside for all those poor.

Hi Marilyn,

Ta note est très nostalgique. Un bon portrait de cette femme qui regarde en direction du photographe. Tu a bien capturé ses émotion d'un dur labeur. La lumière donne un bon contraste entre les couleurs. Bonne journée.

hard life in this place. We can see a work-girl surrounded by rice fields. I liked this pov and the cart in the background. The light is perfect too and colors beautiful. I liked the way you put the woman inside the photo, she is surprised watching the camera

The photo is well divided in three horizontal sections, each one of them can exist autonomously - the cart, the green ricefield and the muddy water. Each of them can be interpreted in a different way, in conjunction with the terrible dissaster.

The looking woman unites the three parts in this unique photo.
