Photographer's Note
I took this photo on the famous sand hill in Binh Thuan Province late in the afternoon. A lady was in hurry on the way back home. The moment of the photo was when she glanced at the sun, guessing when it would become totally dark. It seemed to me that she was afraid that she would not be home before the sun set. The ratten frames burden the duty an Asian woman should bear - responsibility for the whole family.
I hope this note may help :D

Hi Hien, very nice graphical shot of this lady walking her baskets up the hill to the sun. She is perfectly positioned in the shot, excellent composition, very nice use of the light to give us this silhouette with this bright sun.
Thanks, John

Hi Hien,
Superb shot, perfect perspective, very impressionist-like picture showing a sense of daily grind of the main hero.
Cheers

Xin chao Hien,
A classic Vietnamese picture, not terribly original, but well executed. It's great that you decided to include a note. This is appreciated. Keep posting!
Cam on!

Hi Hien,
Nice work. Very nice. The off center placement of the woman and the sun, the harsh light well controlled. Very nice!
Greetings,
Dennis

Hi Hien,
Good timing to capture someone walking and produced a clear figure of silhouette against the color of sunset. The angle works appropriately with the hill slope which compliments her nature of work.
This image gives me an idea of the places to visit in Vietnam when we (me and my friends) go there in Nov. :o)
TFS!
