Hi Caleb,
It's film, and it's alive..!!! Good old Provia, but seeing this he is still going strong. Together with his brother Velvia they are the masters of deep saturated colors, and that is exactly what we see here. Love those green, red and blue. so deep, so intens. You have to shoot in raw and really know what you are doing will you create these colors.
Excellent work Caleb, very good scanning also.
Regards, Henk

Hi Caleb, A wonderfully composed daily life photo, the colours are strong & the shallow DOF first class, the detail on their dress is beautiful & the light is magnificent, great shot, kind regards Wilson.

Hi Caleb,
Excellent catch of the moment. Vibrant colors as usual with a perfect backdrop. Perhaps a bit tight on top? Regards,

Superb colours, exposure and perfect depth of field Caleb. I would wish for just a little more space at the top but an excellent image all the same.

Hello Caleb,
Your image here is outstanding! I especially like the bold colors and patterns in their clothing. I tried your Luko's script method of USM sharpening and the results were a huge improvement over my original "Mountain Men" image. I emailed you a response. Great work! Thanks for the PS tips also.

With your talent, Fujichrome will never lose its role in photography.
These ladies know nothing about the difference between transparent film and digital tech, but we do. My hat off for your fidelity to slide!

Hi Caleb,

A wonderful picture with beautifully intense colours. I so agree with Henk that the intensity of the colours is something that would be very difficult to get digitally, since a CS2 increase in saturation would also make the background more yellowish.
Great composition and depth of focus. Thanks for this beauty!

Greetings, Dennis

Hi Caleb,
I will start thinking that you are a great ethnographical photographer. Not only the faces and their natural expressions, but also how you present their clothing deserves applause and your series owns really good documentaries of this part of the world. Compositionally, tow figures in chatting action in front of thier bokeh work perfectly. Congrats,
Deniz
