The image reflects daily village life. The image is well composed, has an interesting viewpoint, with good tonal, complementary colors, and rich textures. Your focal length works.
My eye goes to the brighter turquoise area at the top of the image. Posted: 11/03/2024 05:34:36

I think this is a very interesting and engaging image. I like the bright colors that draw my eye, even the turquoise painted board, which feels like it contributes to the setting of the story. I think you could burn some of the left side of the photo to make the image feel more balanced, since much of the left half is somewhat washed out. Posted: 11/06/2024 09:23:44
Ardeth, here again we have an example that you can not see the face, so then what ?? Posted: 11/07/2024 09:21:24
The action and setting create interest here, the work of the woman, the patient cow, the rustic setting. It is an active story. Posted: 11/07/2024 09:36:15
Sergio, real life at its best. Not much hygienic conditions as you can see in the back of the cow. Is it mud or her own manure stuck the the skin. Living condition shows it is very basic and the simplistic way of the wood construction. We do not see her face but she is engaged in an unusual moment for us westerners. Posted: 11/07/2024 09:20:36

This image brought to me memories of going to my uncle's farm when I was a child and helping to milk the cow and collect the eggs. Thus, the key element for me is the hands milking, and the cow's face. Was she content?

I like this real life photo of milking the cow. The bright colors on the woman doing the milking with the scarf around her head draws me into the photograph. I see the cow's face clearly and obviously, since the woman is doing the milking. I cannot see her face. Karen Kohn Posted: 11/07/2024 17:09:50

Hi Sergio, You have added to a rural scene by choosing an interesting low angle. The cow is wonderful, complete with dried mud. I don't wish to see the milker's face but I wish the image showed had a container or stream of milk. The bright areas at the bottom and left could be darkened. Karl Posted: 11/08/2024 12:45:27
