Photo of the Day
a Thai farmer working in a rice field

In the Frame
A woman harvests rice from a field in Thailand in this picture by Your Shot member Sarawut Intarob. The photo was included in the final story for the recent Your Shot assignment What’s in a Frame? “This picture comes together so well,” says National Geographic photographer Stephen Alvarez, who curated the assignment. Alvarez praised the light, the woman's expression, and the way Intarob shot through the bundled rice plants to provide a low view.
