Rice is Nice

This is an interesting image for the shapes and color, as well as giving a nice hint to the culture. My only nit is the top of the person's head peeking over the top of the pink bag. Other than that, I like this a lot.

Thanks, Preston. You are right about those nits. As landscapers we have such wonderful control and the luxury of time (most of the time). When in the frantic bustling markets of third world countries, just take everything we know and chuck it out the window. I was lucky nobody started grabbing me just for having a camera visible, not to mention people, scooters and goats constantly getting into the frame. For every one image that I sort of got what I wanted, I missed a hundred opportunities of wonderful scenes and people I just couldn't shoot for a huge variety of reasons. Forget about composition, backgrounds, lighting, DOF or cooperative subjects. It was chaos all day. I started out using my Mark III, reduced it to my G10, and ultimately just used my iPhone for plain convenience, stealthiness and speed.

Ditto what Preston has said, "This is an interesting image for the shapes and color, as well as giving a nice hint to the culture."
The view back of the head's rather small, doesn't bother me..
Besides, one of those bags would make a great backrest

I never knew rice came in so many colours !! Fantastic capture !
