The Farmer
by Steven Dorgelo
Early birds are often rewarded with the most unexpected and beautiful scenes! This photo is part of a series on the Dong minority groups in Guizhou, a poor province in south-west China. A rice farmer walks to his fields in the early morning.
Equipment: Canon 40D

Superb work Steven. Just superb.

Beautiful picture-which is your reward for rising early and working hard.
Why, do you suppose, does the farmer do it every day for so many years?
Mario Gustavo Fiorucci

Early, or late, is always best for photography isn’t it? Your effort to get out of bed whilst others still sleep has certainly paid off and you have been well rewarded for your good sense. This is a wonderful shot, both technically and aesthetically.

The composition is good and the light is very good; I wonder what he has in those bags.
