One of the premier wine growing regions in Georgia. We stopped by a town to have lunch.

Bitterly cold, and dull day....

Fahim,

This place seems to have a con glom,oration of very different building styles. some roofs have traditional tile shingles, others modern modified painted corrugated iron and at least one appears to be sheet metal. This means that traditional methods are not competitive.

I wonder what is the culture here and the economy?

Asher, I cannot give an informed response to your query. Sorry!

But as one moves along this region, one walks or drives very carefully.

There are numerous wineries along the route, where one can stop and taste the varieties of wine...for free.

Hence, one drives very carefully around here. But everyone seemed to be happy!!

I can take this as advice for my entire life!

Well, I would partake with gusto, but keep my driver safely at a distance sipping coffee!

Fahim, at it's core this image has a documentary feel to it and I like that, it's a good image. I do think that the processing of it is very extreme and unbalanced...

Best regards...

Hey, thanks for stopping by Paul. I really appreciate your comments. I might also agree with it.

Except for the fact that I try to turn something that it isn't. Sometimes, I succeed. Other times, I fail.
This seems to be one of my failures, then.

But what I am not, is a documentary photographer. At least I try my best not to be.

Gratefully yours.

Hey Fahim, my best of regards to you.
Documentary photography can be a very liberating thing, especially in comparison to an idealistic landscape approach. From what you said I think you were trying to achieve the latter.
Anyway, all bets are on, the restraints with quality of light are off and the subjects are waiting just round the corner in documentary photography... :)

I don't know about the processing involved (not my area of expertise) but enjoy the illumination in the foreground and then the bright bit of sky at the top of the frame in the deep distance.
