I like the first one as well. Did you add some unsharp mask to it? It may give it more definition.

I love the first one! I'd really like to see both of them a little bigger. They're great!

A nice slice of life from a country most of us know very little of, would love to see more.

These two were taken in a village alley late afternoon where a small crowd had gathered to watch a pig being butchered.It was Mid-Autumn Festival Night.

Nice series, Rick.
I like #4 & #5 but especially #4.
Excellent capture.

While the last image is a fine example of rural life in China I would suggest a warning in the title.

Sorry.Will do next time I post anything like this.But hey it's life!That old man and baby were right there and the old man was telling the baby what they were doing to the pig.However I do understand that there are many that either do not eat pork or think that it comes from the supermarket in polythene.LOL.Thanks for you comments.RW.

I have to agree about Images 4 & 5 wonderful captures, well done.

BTW I'm vegetarian and I'm not offended by the pig - it's life and we are all different!:D ;)

Good shooting
Regards
