Default Confident vs Ability

Confident vs Ability

Taken during Kolukkumalai trek during last week.. Its awesome place. both the Place and the People we met.

When we went to Kolukkumalai, we went in a wrong route and stopped in Coffee Estate. That coffee estate is full of Arabian Coffee Seeds. Three ppl welcomed us and gave black coffee in that rainy day.

She is handicapped. But taken full care of us giving coffee and all other things that we need. Even idli they gave to us. But we were full so we took the coffee and enjoyed the weather in the rain.

I was very much happy for that moments. when everyone was little disappointed (that they came for an hour or so in an wrong route) even they got the arabic black coffee(which was excellent in taste), i was happiest person in that time for meeting those ppl and the cattle that they had and their love and affection and for all these photos..

Love to go again..

Very strong photo. You need to go back and put together a photo story.

Excellent subject and the B&W is perfect for this. It really shows off the different textures in the photo.

I can almost taste the coffee you did such a good job of bringing your viewer and reader into your experience. I didn't understand your title at first but as I continued to read, I kept looking at her face and she seemed to grow more beautiful and confident with every word. Outstanding photo and wonderful presentation. It traveled well from your world to mine.
