Comment from Susan F. M. T.
A beautiful picture of this hard working Lady busy plucking the top leaves off the bushes that are used to make the best tea. Her wide brimmed hat protecting her from the worse of the harsh sunlight. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.

Comment from Neilnap773
lovely structure to this shot with the subject being that of the tea framing the person...the picker..who is virtually buried in the subject which works well for promoting this as a contest entry...lovely sharpness to the photo too..good luck

Wonderful story and then you had Lotus Blossom feet...sigh, but the poor tigers still suffer from lack of penis...never mind, sorry I digress.

Thank you for entering this contest with a unique post that comes to us from another part of the world. I like how viewers get sucked into the tea garden and feel like we are drowning in tea.

Nice one.

A beautiful shot from a great perspective. I like the broad rimmed hat and the remarkable detail in the face under it. The colors are great and the panoramic presentation captures the breadth of the tea fields. Good luck in the contest.
