Wonderful picture of a whole different way of life. The use of color in their clothing is great and wonderful. The wood seems interesting. I wonder if it is sold her in the states.

Great notes on this traditional eastern cosmetic. The image is great with fine composition and beautiful colors. I like the cigar (or whatever they call it) and the way the wood is presented. Almost like cordwood for a fireplace. I wonder if this woman is as old as she looks.

Thank you for the great detail and history lesson! Great frame, color and light. I wonder what she has seen through those eyes. Great job!

What a photograph. She is old but still has to work hard by selling thanaka. But I understand she might need money more then others in her age. Well captured and framed.

Great National Geographic quality picture. The detail, especially the cigarette convey a rich and compelling story--if not the exact details. Very nice job. Cheers, James.

Wow! A very interesting take to go along with your previous photo for the day. All of your photography points are perfect in this. But I especially like the story that you have captured without words. To me it is that smoking makes wrinkles! :D

Comment from FBI GUY
What a great journalism shot. The picture is worth a thousand words. The lady looks like one tough cookie. The lesson on the cream is very interesting and gives insight to culture of Burma/Myanmar. The colorful clothing and the head scarf give me the impression that it might chilly. Great shot.

Comment from seshadri_sreenivasan
Very interesting notes! Equally interesting shot. Looks as though that she could use some Thanaka herself! Smoking cigars may not do any good for her , but she may look good in her deathbed!:) Thanks for sharing an interesting picture!

A super narrative to see how your pretty lady decorated her face. Like this view on the elderly woman. Wonderful frame, focus and exposure to show the clothing and a look of hard times on her face.
