Very colourful, Tejal...I love that dress of the woman at the back second to the left. Especially love the colour there...The water buffalo reminds me of my childhood growing in the farm. We have a lot of those helping plow the rice field and I surely missed their warm milk for my many breakfasts. Thank you for sharing...

. Thnx

Tejal - if this is about the women carrying the water, then make it obvious and don't include other materials that don't add to the composition. Getting in closer will generally strengthen the composition.

Thnx Manfred. I have similar shot too where i have not incorporated the environment more. I will post that too shortly.

When I first looked at the image you posted, it struck me that you had posted a landscape shot that happened to have some cows and some women carrying water in it. If the shot is women carrying water, concentrate on that aspect of the scene, rather on all the other bits that are not important to the image.

It's difficult to make the shot about the landscape AND the women at the same time. I personally like landscape shots with people, as it gives the image life and scale, but it seems to me that you were so busy trying to do both at the same time that the landscape was not as strong as it should be and the women were not as strong as they should be.

Thanks for your feedback. I think while giving title to the image i need to be careful :P. Tight shot - like this ? SOOC shot. Not processed.

Regarding emphasis on the Main Subjects and the issue of the distracting sign and whether it is Landscape work or People Pictorial - etc.

“Widescreen Crop” would work to make it more about the Women:
