19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Altered Images
Morning of Basha Village

The hard-working mountain people are out working in the fields just after dawn. The dynamic shadows indicate swiftness, seizing the time to work, while the static indicates that they happen upon a beautiful view and they stop to admire it. A combination of movement and stillness. For city dwellers, this idyllic life of working at sunrise and returning at sunset is most envied.
