Photographer's Note
Farmer in the middle, holding bundled rice in both hands:
" This is our life.
This is what we do.
The seeds we plant,
the crops we grow,
the crops we harvest,
will feed our children,
will feed our families,
will feed our nation.
This is our life..."

Great colors, sharp shot and such a typical daily life scene. It reminds me of what I saw during my trip to Indonesia last summer.

You reminded me of a past ALford. Of blue hazy hills, green forest sitting at its foothills and vista of yellow and gold. The smell of padi, the squishy walk of mud and muffled chatterings of farmers.

Great work Alford. I am going home on the 19th...and hope to take pics like this. But I might stay in Mnaila only.
Anyway, the placement fo the people in the frame is good. IMHO, I would crop the top part...a bit distracting from the foreground action. c u tmrw.

It's look like a very hard work. Nice photo with nice colors. Its special, because we don't see the eyes of the workers. Nice work!
