your image tells story about life on the banks of the river in third world countries, frequently used to wash clothes, bathing and as a source of food, is an integral part of life. Here, you captured the human interest in banks of the river. Your color is good, exposure is good and the image is well-centered and crisp. Depth-of-field is also good. Posted: 03/01/2026 10:56:44
Thank you Alan, the most common problem is always the light because you can't change it, the middle of the day with the sun high its always a challenge Posted: 03/02/2026 01:13:37
I wouldn't know it from your image. Clearly, you positioned yourself so the mid-day light didn't cause a problem with your image, and it still told the story I assume you wanted. If the mid-day light was a challenge, one would never er know it from your image. You handled it well. Posted: 03/02/2026 06:49:23
