~ tradition ~, a photo from An Giang, Mekong River Delta

Photographer's Note

'Cham' woman in deep concentration weaving to their distinctive fabric using family looms on a daily basis, and that's almost a common sight in many households here keeping old tradition alive. Lit by natural warm
light under her stilted house, the one valuable element that I really loved to capture while I tried to stay true to what I saw.

A colourful display, taken in Katambong Chau Phong village, out of Chau Doc town on the Mekong Delta.

Setting: 18 mm, 1/80 sec, F3.5, ISO Raw 200, 0914 hrs

HI Abmdsudi

The many red threads on the loom add good linear perspective directing attention to the woman in the bg managing the weaving. Tfs!

Hi Abmdsudi
Wonderful photo! The human subject is very attractive but well done on filling in a lot of space with the red thread. It's the composition that makes in a special and unusual image.
Best wishes

Hello Abmdsudi,
You chose an excellent viewpoint with the many bright red threads in the foreground. The concentration on the woman's face is from here also still very clearly visible. Excellent work.

Hi Abmdsudi,
Well framed with this wide angle and this red FG, good quality, interesting scene with lady at work, tfs.

Hello Abmdsudi,

I really like the angle that you have chosen for your photograph; it is quite original! Normally, photographers take their photograph showing the pattern that is being produced, but I like how the red warp completely dominates the f/g with its textures and colours, whilst in the b/g, the weaver becomes a most interesting, useful, focal point.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)
