Hi Patrick,

This is a nice portrait. The woman seems happy and rather healthy (apart from her teeth, but I suppose it's normal at ther age...). I like it.

Regards,
Karolina

Je pensais qu'elle s'accompagnait au tam tam en chantant......mais non, c'est un petit métier....qui ne doit pas rapporter gros. Une photo poignante de très belle qualité.

Salut Patrick
I really missed your masterful portraiture during your last absence on TE!
In a single photo you captured not only one person but the whole culture of the region.

Hi Patrick!
This is a really good daily scene and a very nice portrait! She seems really amused looking at you and all the details are excellent!

Hi Patrick
Smile To Universe & pace of life! Imho the easiest way to bring emotion into a picture is through the facial expression as depicted. I really feel a gently natural warm smile of this elderly farmer- a great grandma and an amazing piece of simple apparatus. Sometimes a photo speaks a thousand words, this one says one. Glorious shot such a joy to sit back and admire! Congrats
Best regards

Hi Patrick
great to see you posting new photos again! TE has missed you for sure :)

good idea to zoom in and catch this lady doing her job.
so thats really her job though? to scare away the birds?

doesn't sound like much fun, but in the end I guess its a rather important task!

excellent cultural shot.
cheers
