Photographers Comments
I made this shot at a demonstration where women made baskets by hand. That was very interesting action.

Somewhere, someone is making Baskets by Hand all across the World, some because it is just a need, others to keep the Art alive.
They all seem to have their Own style too. I have seen a lot of Maori Basket making and now the old tradition is taught to those wanting to preserve the simple Art of Basket Making. *salute*

Brilliant shot Leslie, very crisp and I like the crop. Those hands tell their own story too, don't they?

Hello Diane!

Thanks a lot for your kind feedback. My thoughts were same. I also like characters with life story on their faces and hands and this situation is typically that case.

All of my best

G'day Tedz!

Thank you for your kind words. I like to see them in work, preseving this really old tradition. There are a lots of possibilities in Hungary to watch this and other type of handwork activities.

All the best

Hi Leslie, I like the crop. It really tells a story. I think if you showed more of the person it would not be as dramatic. Art

Hi Art my friend!

Thanks a lot for your prof comments I appreciate that everytime.
You know my aim was to abstract the hands from the person. In my fantasy live only the hands and the action. This is that I wanted to show you and I dont think this is dramatic. But if you think so I will think about it.
