These women were photographed while I was out on patrol, (combat medic in Iraq). There is a big berm and a lake to the side of them. To my understanding the water raises up and leaves puddles, this also liquifies the salt in the the ground and brings it to the surface. The sun then beins to evaperate the water leaving the salt. Only minor exposure ajustments were made.

interesting image - I would crop out the foreground a bit.

I think I would like to see the subjects placed a little lower in the frame..

While it is a good documentary scene I find that with a tighter cropping on either the colourful person or the other 2 would help to add more interest. Face contact also helps

Love the context of the shot. Think it would have been better a little closer on the gatherers.

Very nice and unusual image of women at work. I really like the spots of colour that are provided by the bowls and the woman on the rights clothes

Too far away to have any impact

Cool perspective but too much bland area.

Salt by hand, tough skin, cropping technique could be better.
