This is an interesting and unusual image. The workers hunkered down among the tea plants under that moody, cloudy sky makes for a great composition. We're known for being a nation of tea lovers here in the UK - me, I only drink coffee!

Comment from Glena Jessee-King
This is a fine man-impacted entry with the workers, the tea leaves and the much greenery. The distant low mountains are nice as is the blue sky with fluffy and dark clouds. Best wishes. Fine photography.

I see a sea of green held in check by a distant ring of mountains under a gathering sky.

I wonder why tea leaf harvesting is still done by hand and not mechanized and automated like so any other crops?

The rando colors of the workers lends a nice contrast to this sea of green.

Long view framing brings home the immense size of this plantation - well done.

Nice use of the rule of thirds.

Nice camera work, well done... Bob

It's good for us spoiled Americans to get a glimpse of what it is like in other countries, where people break their backs just to survive. This is a beautiful photo. The scenery is gorgeous, but mostly, the people touch my heart.

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable view of those hard working pickers. Colours, textures and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Well done and good luck!

Comment from Susan F. M. T.
An interesting picture of these Tea Pickers in a Tea Garden in Sri Lanka. The green foliage of the Tea Bushes ~ Camellia sinensis makes a contrasting backdrop to the pickers the sun rays highlighting the pickers under a blue sky with rain clouds floating overhead. Beautiful composition framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus. Good luck in the Contest.

Such a powerful visual of these hard working people who are collectively harvesting their crop. The blue sky with the fluffy clouds brings out the dark lush green leaves of the plants. Wonderful visual experience

This is a great entry for the contest. People picking tea leaves in a vast field. I don't think they will ever run out of pickings. A beautiful cloudy sky and a field of green works well together. Thae best of luck in the contest. Ray
