Round and round (POTW #8)
Does it count as a portrait if you can’t see her face? I don’t know, and I don’t suppose it really matters. I don’t normally like to loom over people when I take their picture, but I liked the pattern created by the hat and the tray, and the shapes made by her hand sweeping through the rice.
This was taken this weekend in Cholon, which is fast becoming my favourite area of the city to take pictures in. The area is known as Saigon’s Chinatown and has markets, pagodas and streetlife aplenty.

This is a great image! I wish they had this type of activity in NY’c Chinatown (that I just posted about. No pics like this though!) thanks for sharing 🙂
Great shot.
I drove through Tunbridge Wells yesterday…. Chucking it down!
Nice magical vibe to this one!
Great capture!
Love the composition of this photo. The two circles (hat and bowl) with the added movement of the stirring arm. Excellent. Congrats on being freshly pressed.
Thanks David, those are exactly the shapes and patterns that I was trying to capture.
Love everything in this picture! Just curious, were you just standing over her or on some kind of stool/chair?
I was standing. I’m quite tall, which normally means I spend a lot of time crouching and stooping when I’m taking people pictures, but in this case my height was actually an advantage.
Excellent photo! I love the movement!
Superb composition and movement.
