Have to be careful, too, though. If something like that is introduced to quickly, it can have devastating results on the local economy, rapid unemployment, and these people's situation might actually become worse. I am NOT saying their lot shouldn't be helped, just that it has to be done carefully.

Nice photo. Thanks for the information. Very interesting and something to think about. I'm sure this situation exists in many parts of the world for more than just tea.

Oh. So we're supposed to ASSUME you love him? (Just kidding, of course ) Great photo

Cool sign, but I'm not sure it'd make me want to enter for a haircut

A really nice photo. Who is he? How is he a "loved one?"

Very nice shot. I like the exposure.

Cool looking kid.

A very nice looking lady.

Nice shot. He reminds me a little of my son when he was a little younger.

Congrats on a clean sweep

I like this shot. Looks great in high res.

That is really nice, except for one obvious oversight. If it was a "perfect cast" - it'd be fly fishing!

Nice shot

Cute

That little line of trees makes this very nice.

And you've read them all, I hope.

Congrats

Congrats

Nice one. I'd like to walk that road

Very nice, although I might have rotated it 90 degrees CW

Very nice

Nice one. I like the B&W

Kids having fun - without video games! I like the smiles.

Of course Oscar Wilde also only lived to be 46 years old.

"Moderation" Same thing the Greeks said ("Meden Agan" - Nothing in excess). Must be something to it. Good thing there's a loophole for chocolate.

Nice shot and P.P.

Cool old PBY

Is tea particularly healthy?

Cute kids

Congrats on 1st

Another 1st

Congrats on 1st

Very nice. Might've cropped out that small piece of boat at the bottom left

Some of those are weird looking "onions" :p

I like the colorful patterns

Nice effect

Nice catch

Nice, but I probably would have cropped out that thumb

Yes, it is definitely too late now. I was just speaking for the photo in general. It would take out a few flowers, but those in the upper left are of a different focus and exposure. Either way, it's still a nice shot.

I like the DOF and mood.

Very nice, although I might have cropped it a little more closely to remove the top left.

I like your choice of B&W

Nice job panning

Looks like some of the freshman papers I grade.

Very nice shot.

I think this is a nice shot. I like the B&W, and don't really think a tighter crop would be better. The height of the grave stone on the left being near the height of the church not only balances the shot, but sends a subliminal message about life and death. How well it fits the theme is a separate issue from the quality of the photo. Personally, I think it fits the theme just fine. Many people pray at gravesides. What is praying? It's a form of worship. We can worship in a giant cathedral or mosque, or we can worship at a humble site in the country or the side of a grave.

Cool.

Nice one - congrats on 1st

You guys just need to cool it!

Very nice shot... how does it relate to Aretha Franklin or Respect?
