This is to share with you some snapshots describing the Dzay minority at work with their colorful clothes that I was lucky to locate them working on the field at Bac-Ha. Having these snapshots posted here, I am looking toward your comments, critique and suggestions (please tell me what you expect to see but I missed!). Hopefully I will be well armed with your inputs when returning to this lovely destination.

Here, the minority ladies are pulling up early sprouts of rice from seeding beds, then bundle them before another farmer delivers to the planting pads.
As I mentioned somewhere before, my color negative rolls have been developed with well-used chemical by a local labs in Hanoi and they've lost true colors somewhat...
For this picture, I don't know why the older lady's left arm became green like that. I've tried to correct it, but when I removed the GREEN from her arm, the color of rice wasn't correct any more.
For your workshop, I appreciate your time and your suggestion. Different people may have different taste. I would let our friends in USEFILM yto select which one they prefer. But I saved a copy of your workshop into my folder for reference.
I personally like it more in color because it adds to their outfits. The beauty of so many cultures is the color of their cloths - wether it would be Asia, Africa, South America etc. It would be a pitty to have to give that up in this amazing shot.
I fidled around with it a bit and decreased the brightness of the green a little - hopefully thus reducing the greeness a bit...
Thanks, Kasia. Actually, all my color negative rolls have been developed in Hanoi since I already crossed more than 10 airport security chaeckpoints. Undergone the old and well-used chemicals at local labs, the prints came out either too red or too green...
