Super lighting you have here. Very nice perspective with this lady selling things. The background is wonderful, making the subject stands out so well along with good light there. Well done. Sothy

Selam sevgili Saylan kardeşim,
Ellerine sağlık ! Muhteşem bir kare. ﾖzellikle de kadının y�z�ne vuran ışık harika. Ne zor bir yaşam, � beş kilo patates'i satıp da neler alabilecek. ﾇok şeyler anlatan bir kare.

Hello, Saylan,
This is a great daily life shot. I like the way the light comes in from the side and casts those long shadows. I love the different colors and patterns, the gray background setting the subject off so nicely and the seeming attitude of the lady selling things. :)) This is so cool. How else would I ever get to see such a nice view of Russian life. Thank you! Warm regards,
Shelly

Hi Saylan,
A good portrait of an interesting and picturesque subject! with excellent light and good sharpness. The framing is quite central and compo may have been improved(IMO) by leaving more space in front of her(on the left)and less behind her...
Friendly regards
Laurent

Merhaba Saylan,
good daily life scene, excellent managed light. Not knowing the circumstances here I would prefer a less centered and less frontal view.

Hi Saylan!
Her pose is excellent while sheｫs eating her sandwich wit the three buckets with potatoes in front of her.The different colours of the buckets are a nice detail. Good shot!

Hi Saylan.

Maybe a little bit centered but lovely. It's a nice reflection of the life there.

Well done!

Hi Saylan,

A beautiful coloured and original scene of the daily life. I like much the light on this woman. The palisade of wood emphasizes well the subject. Interesting photograph, thank you Saylan.

With all my friendships,

Jean-Charles

wolf38 (30) 2007-10-24 2:18

Hello Saylan. A motive from the simple everyday life of the people in Russia. The woman sits before a wall from boards. It offers potatoes for the sales. In the right hand it has something to the meal. The left hand rests the hip. One can regard the picture longer time. It is a marvelous and worth seeing snapshot. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Didi (61589) 2007-11-02 10:22

Hello Saylan
very interesting lights on the babbochka with the darker foreground.
Interesting local scene.
Cheers

enedimd (1532) 2007-11-04 6:43

Saylan hanım merhaba,
Aslında hayatın zorluklarını anlatan nefis bir kare. Rusya' da olsa neresi olursa olsun hayat zor... Yaşam savaşı vermek, karın doyurmak....
G�nl�k hayattan 輟k g�zel bir kare. ﾖzellikle, Doku ve ışık 輟k g�zel.
Elinize sağlık.
Selamlar,
Emir Nedim

oochappan (4880) 2007-11-07 3:27

I like this one Saylan, her sitting straight in the middle of the scene towards the wooden fence well textured with sunspots on her face and salesware, pleasant light, well seen.

the potato lady, humorous shot, sometimes we resemble what we do, as this lady selling potatoes and yet she is sitting like one.

Merhaba Saylam
Well, she ate lot of potatoes!
I like her casual posture and the low side light that provides a 3D effect.
Pleasing vivid colors over an unobtrusive backdrop.
Quite eye catching!!
Selamlar.

parbo (11092) 2008-12-13 13:59

Hello Saylan,

Nice capture of lady seller while her looks targeted to different location. Low angled lights helped you a lot for photographing her face and stand too. The wooden curtain wonderfully runs as a natural background. Congratulations.

Best Regards,

Ertugrul
