I first heard that from a fellow who said, "Japanese camera, English film, German photographer - what could be better?"

Best regards,

Fahim,

You are an excellent tourist, always sending pictures home; thanks! This scene is so rural and often is shown with bare plowed furrows of earth converging to the distant farmhouse, a junction a the farmer with the land and sky. Here, in color, and flat land in the foreground we face an antithesis of the B&W pictures that have established this scene in our minds. However, what you took was real and not manipulated. It has a freshness to it, and shows us our planet with no glamor.

I had to look more closely at the top of the picture. There are dark sloping lines, just dropping at a small angle from horizontal going from left to right. Also there are several lighter lines from the left moving upwards. In addition several figures can be seen at the left.

So I'd consider making this a panorama and cutting away everything below the light lines. Then the picture would be shown larger and the homes and little figures could be seen easily. I's darken those dark lines and bring out the light lines and then, voila you'd have a memorable print for this trip.

Asher
