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, a girl pulls up early sprouts of rice from seeding beds, then bundles them before another farmer delivers to the planting pads.
I am not sure if they have "best dressed farmers on earth", but I am sure they are the only people to wear their traditional costume not only in festivals or important ceremonies, but to the market and ... at work on muddy field, too!.
i love the series, again the expression on the face is talking, great feeling of depth with foreground, i am amazed with the clothes they wear while farming, best dressed farmers on earth.. thank you for sharing..
Ngythanh, I like how you used the foreground to show the depth of her labor! Excellent use of that space to create that feeling. That is what I felt when first viewing it, the toil and hardship she must be enduring. Congrats, it's a great image!
My recent reply to Anurag has an error. Although it is just a issue of keystroke, I would like to correct my response as following, as a way to show full respect to those who viewed my pictures and contributed advice. Thanks again.

Actually, I left the foreground that way due to the fact that I felt so hard for the girl with long way to go on her job, when I sat in front of her, across the young rice's bed. Probably the photo has an unbalance between colors, but I do hope that viewers will realize how much work the farmers have to perform under direct sunlight without any help from technology or machinery.
Thank you, Anurag, for your kind words and advice on cropping.

Whatever my purpose is, I am a listener. If you have time, I would appreciate to see a workshop with cropping portion as you said.
