Nice slice of life from a different culture. Like the capture of the face of the center lady. Do not like the loss of detail in the hats because of over exposure - the displayed goods also appear a bit too bright. Overall good sharpness with nice story telling.

Absolutely beautiful character study of the Hmong ladies selling their wares! Love the colors and overall feel of your piece. Each of the women have a different point of view which adds to the drama of the story that is being told in your work. Great entry for the contest! Wishing you the best!

Comment from suffolkbrian
Although the contest was more about produce rather than people,as you can see part of the wares they are selling then that's okay.
Two things I can see that maybe could have been improved,is the hats are a bit to white with no detail,maybe the sun was strong in this,and its a pity the lady on the right is cropped because it looks like she is on a mobile,and this would have made for another good photo as the contrast between the older looking clothes and the mobile would have made a good photo.
Sometimes its about observing different people in order to get good photos,still I do like this and thanks for entering the contest...Brian

Comment from cleo85
The composition of this photo is intriguing. The diagonal view draws my interest to the woman and their traditional cloth. It is obvious that the woman sell something, but I cannot make out what they are selling. Are they selling fabrics or something wrapped in fabrics?

Comment from Trajan
A wonderful shot this. It works well as a standout cultural narrative. To me it speaks of traditions and ways of doing that have continued for centuries. The colors, expressions and steep diagonal make for a nice capture.
I kind of wish you did not chop of the last ladies head. That would have made a better image.
Overall, the lighting is good, focus is solid and depth of field well done for the image.
