Farmer at Work, a photo from West Bengal, East

Photographer's Note

India is a land of farmers. Most of the Indians still living in the villages & directly or indirectly connected to cultivation to earn their lively hood. Even today when so many machineries are there many farmers like this one have to work hard in the field with their cattles...

I took this shot after a heavy rain when I went outside & saw this farmer working in his field.

This is one of my favourite sights in rural India, I love the fields the farmers the village women, I hate the cities, I dont see how thier lot has inproved by moving to the industries and cities they still live miserably, more miserably in fact. This is a lovely serene place and the picture projects the tranquility and beauty well.

A delightful daily life scene, with excellent colour & sharpness. The man & 2 oxen are an essential detail, that add life & interest. Tfs!

Merhaba Srinivasan, my friend...
It's a beautiful point of view and perspective. The light, the colors (especially the tones of the green) and the reflection on the water are perfect...
TFS...
Stay well..

RS bonsoir.
L'atmosphčre aprés la pluie est excellente pour la photo. Ici la pluie a ajouté de l'eau dans le champ et a créé ainsi de beaux reflets. Les gestes du paysan sont les męmes depuis toujours. Excellente composition.

Hi,

Interesting photo, I like how you've captured the man working the fields. (Interesting how some people prefer the old ways.) Here in Norway most farmers use machines to work the land, so images like this I don't see to often. Nicely captured. TFS.

Very idyllic and beautiful rural scene. Great sharpness and colors in this composition - the greens are pleasing and am glad it was not over-pp'ed. The oxen used for plowing are interesting to look at in this well framed scene. Greetings! Danilo

a wonderful shot of this traditional country life. I like the composition and the colours very much. At first sight I would never have thought you had used a mobile to take such a shot. The quality and the sharpness are stunning.
Superb

Perfect story of an Indian village.

Namanskar Srinivasan,
You present us a wonderful portrait of traditional rural India. Very nice compo, with all that wet terrains on the fg and the shining green of the bg. The colour contrast given by the red shirt of the farmer is wonderful.
It's a pity that it has some noise, but it can pass almost unnoticed without a careful inspection so it doesn't do much harm.
Regards, José.

Nice clarity and great POV but I am sorry to say minus the framing ( which I think you are a bit overindulged!)

Angshu (56760) 2008-01-17 20:10

Hello Srini
These are scenes which are not normally seen in TE, from deep inside rural Bengal. This is indeed well captures & the colours are excellent. Resolution & sharpness is quite excellent considering you took this one with your mobile phone camera. Keep shooting such pictures & show us the real heart of India.
Regards
Angshu
