Little man, a photo from Himachal Pradesh, Nord

Photographer's Note

I spent an afternoon picking peas with his mother/grandmother all in the hopes of getting some local hooch. The pea stalks are taken back to the house so that the animals can eat it. His load was quite big but mine was even bigger, never did get a beer apparently the man with the KEY for the beer shed was away hmmmmm think I was lead a merry dance.

Hello Simon,
An excellent composition with the boy (man?) at the front and the road going diagonally towards the village. The colours balance each other perfectly and the sharpness is very good too. Thanks for sharing.
Regards,
Gert

I love your photo.
I love your note.
I love the way you explained that photo of yours.
Without these moralistic limbos and politically correct pity about the poor, exploited children and what WE can do about it ??
Great stuff, man.
It renewed my belief in common sense and everyday logic.

Thanks, Simon buddy…
Stay cool

Dear Simon,
A very well balanced composition with perfectly placed objects. The blue sky at the at the corner has provided a relief to the monotony of the baren hills of Himachal.

Best wishes.
Dr. J.

Hi Simon. A fine shot from daily life and hard work. The placement of the boy in the composition is very good, and the stony path to the village and the rough nature in the background adds to the story. Good work indeed. Regards Jens :-)
