Field of Yellow

by David Lazar

Two friends look out over a field of yellow mustard flowers in rural Putia, Bangladesh. This photo was taken early in the morning on one of my casual wanderings to see who I could meet and what I could capture. A couple of families who live in this area gathered to meet me and were curious about my presence, and it was not long until I they were offering me tea, singing the national anthem, and posing for me in my photographs.
Equipment: Nikon D700

Can’t take my eyes off the girls, want to just wrap my arms around them! (I’m old enough to be great grandma!) The way they are posed works great with the picture…

Wonderful aura to the composition. I really like the stages of depth all the way back to the water buffalo.

This really captures the innocent, raw beauty of a third world country. Slightly overgrown, very little manicuring of the landscape. Very evocative! Thank you for sharing!
