Dear friends,

North of Vietnam is full of mountains and well blessed with the cool climate. This is home to a variety of tea plantations. They offer great space for photos shooting. Here comes several that I took recently and hope you will enjoy them:

Unlike elsewhere, at the tea plantations here you still see the workers picking tea leaves by hands, yet machine:

Hope to have your critiques. Thanks for seeing.

What a beautiful place. It looks like the workers had fun with you. Nice job.

If I was going to suggest anything, I'd say that the white balance looks a little too blue. I'd warm them up a bit.

I'd back off on the vignetting in that last one, but otherwise a nice shot.

I have to say, you must be a very entertaining person. These ladies seem to be laughing at everything you do. You must have a gift.

THank you so much Gibbit1, for your comment.

The ladies are actually friendly by nature. They love to pose and have their photos taken :-). I think all Asian ladies are pretty alike that way.
