Great Sohrab!!! A great image, an incredible composition, a great use of light and stunning beauty of the gaze of the girl.
An image that you can see from some of the best Magnum's photographers.
I really admire this shot.
Thank you for this masterpiece,
Stefano

Wow, that is sure an exceptionnal light. That Tri-X 400 is such a great film !
The composition is very good too. And the general feeling is the ambiance of the place. That ambiance is very well rendered I think, with plenty of details about the life of those people.
Really a good one : both graphic and instructive.
Thank you,
Pascal.

Hey Sohrab, great to see a new post from you. Some really strong elements here and a very good shot overall. First off, of course the beams of light are a great part of the photo, very dramatic. Secondly, I really like the gaze of the girl near the middle, right next to the big wicker basket. Actually, the pose of the mother (I am guessing) is really good too. The downsides for me would be the blown out areas top left, hard to avoid, but they are just a little too much for my tastes. I don't think there is any detail left on your neg, so I doubt you could burn it in, I guess the answer would have been a quicker shutter time and dodging on the rest of the photo in post processing. Nice shot Sohrab, great to see something new.

As I had alrady pointed out elsewhere, it is a fantastic image. I am honored to be a recipient of this one. So far as I am concerned the photo simply needs to be looked and enjoyed. I have already commented on the exceptional role that the pair of eyes play. A memorable image.

Let experts do that part.
Congrats and TFS

Hi Sohrab,
what a wonderful use of the rays of light. The lightning is superb. I like the b+w. A strong composition with a nice focus on that woman. Like a holy figure.

Hello from Canada Sohrab,

Good to see another upload from you, how's things?

I tried to get a picture like this in Hong Kong but he light and the movement here are way more enchanting than anything I managed to find. So beautiful yet so sad to view at the same time...

I told to Peter (Homer x2)sometime ago you played in a different photo league ;o). I'm still convinced it is the case.

Prodigeous photo, fantastic tones in this b/w with precious details.

The woman between the 2 rays of light is not only a great timeing but God this looks like another Virgin's appreance in this graceful light. A real painting ... of light.

Thanks, Alain -

Hi Sohrab, this will be briefly commented from SaPa Vietnam (the most overrated place in VN for Photography, perhaps I'll come back to it later on...).

The beams are simply magic and the composition with that water jar in the foreground is striking, pure light carving. Lots of giggling kids photogs should take a lesson from that.

Perhaps not the best monitor I could get to look at it, but maybe you could improve the print with a bit of grade 3 burning on the right side light beams parts, so that the characters benefit from a little bit more contrast.

this is pure poetry. the critical element here is not the wonderful light streaming in from outside, but the little girl's face with those penetrating eyes peaking around the large basket. the table and bowl in the lower right provide very nice balance as well. a fine, fine photograph.
