Some thoughts concerning your "drive by shooting":

1) it is very hard to compose a shot this way;
2) The technmical quality cannot be optimal too;
3) Please tell me your workflow, I feel the greens are a tad off;
4) Would I want to live there and lead such a rural life?

Hi Kitanikkor

Whilst I understand Frank's questions I also understand why you took these. I'd love to know the location, and they remind me of scenes as I travelled across India exactly 3 years ago. Given the opportunity, I took photos like these because
- I wanted a memento of the life these people lead
- I was never going to get the chance to go back to these locations and take a more carefully composed shot.

As far as the greens, I think Frank and others here can give you lots of useful advice (search for the thread "Franks fault")

And finally would I want to live there? Maybe not permanently, but I would welcome the chance to spend 3-6 months there and would happily turn my hand to trying to live off the land.

It is India. He posted some of the files in his India thread.
