Women waiting in Zaoxing, a photo from Guizhou, Centre

Photographer's Note

These two Dong minority ladies were waiting I suppose for a bus, and were holding their stuff in the way they use, with a stick on their shoulders.
They have also towels on the head, I think to protect their long long hair.

In the picture you can see also a little restaurant and red lamps out of it.
This is Zaoxing main street that I have already shawn in other pics: everything happens there.

Ciao Livia, bel doppio ritratto. oltre che alle due occasionali modelle, la cosa che più mi piace è il "dietro", lo sfondo, con quelle belle e tipiche case di legno, con le belle lanterne rosse di carta, gli ideogrammi pubblicitari e il classico kaos di pentole e pentolame vario che riposa sempre davanti i ristoranti locali...forse in attesa di un bel temporale per lavare le pentole!!
bella prospettiva e colori.
buona serata, ciao

Hello Livia,
This shot is really nice! They look noble chineses. It' OK to show different things in background.
Your note is informative as always was. I learned many about public culture in different places from your notes, specialy far east.
Thanks for sharing,
Ciao,
Reza

Hola Livia.
This is an excellent daily life shot, with great capture of these two women, nice expression in both of them. I love the way you captured the background with so many details, very good colours and sharpness, The composition is amazing.
Well done.

Hi Livia, You did a good job to well capture the two ladies together with a clear view of the environment. Good sharpness and nice details. It is interesting to see the two ladies in traditional dress in contrast with the more modern style dressed younger generation in the background. A well taken picture. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Livia, superb double portrait with excellent elements in both women (gloves, sticks, towels, hanging bags, earrings) and background gives us a good idea of the context. TFS and regards, Daniel
