Jim and I had a deal while travelling through India. If one of us saw something that we wanted to stop and get a closer look at we were to inform the other of us and we would stop and look as chances were we weren't going to get a second chance to see some of this stuff again in our lifetimes. This policy proved to be much to our advantage of seeing some very cool things.
One such thing was a cane field we passed shortly after our exit from the bird sanctuary. Jim wanted to get a closer look. We signaled to the driver to pull over. After Shiva had a quick chat with the field owner and we exchanged some photos we were happily accepted into the fields by the waving cane workers.
Here is the first of the cane workers I photographed. She was quite embarassed, yet flattered that I was taking her picture. I positively love the floral print of her dress. I wish people dressed that well up here in Minnesota.
As you can see from the EXIF data (above) it was really quite bright outside. I used a fairly wide aperture in this shot to try and accentuate the subject from the background.

Another beautiful portrait! You did an amazing job of capturing this shot--it looks like the shadows may have been difficult to deal with in that bright sunlight!
