Photographer's Note
The farmers started planting the rice out here in the country last month. A couple of weeks later, I caught this farmer throwing some kind of liquid onto his crops...maybe water as we had a long dry spell, but mayeb it's some kind or oganic fertilizer.
I cropped the image as I only had a 60mm lens (I'm gonna buy a longer next month) and had to up the levels a bit because it came out darker than the grass really is. When it's planted and when its harvested, it really is this brilliant green colour.

Great composition with the farmer placed in the corner of the frame, and well done for catching the movement of him throwing whatever he's throwing; good timing.
Good work.

Hi Will,
I like the big emtpy space in this image. The contrast between the dark green rice and the clear clothes of the man is great. Good shot.

Excellent graphism, Will. Good use of the diagonal and very well complemented with the motion of man spreading the fertizer on the crop.
Excellent job,
Cheers,

Hi Will. Great image, strong colours and excellent framing. I love the diagonal rows of rice and the well of center point of interest. Just as well you have lots of pixels and can afford to crop a few ;-). Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Very nice and minimalistic image. Very good contrast between this farmers bright clothes and the lovely green.
I like you've caught him throwing seeds ? around. Good framing and nice wide image, if you would leave more green on top and bottom it would be really to much, this is just fine.
TFS.
