LOCATION: This is a brickfield near Taki, is a small town of North 24 Parganas district in West Bengal in India. It is located on the banks of the Ichamati River. The image shows a brickfield is a field or other open site where bricks are made. Land may be leased by an owner to a brick-master, by whom the manufacture of bricks may be conducted. Historically, the topsoil was typically removed and the clay beneath was stripped and mixed with chalk and ash to make bricks.

EDITING: I used PS CS 2024 to edit the frame, by a desktop computer. I used adobe camera raw 16.4 filters to enhance clarity, shadow details, brightness and exposure. I also used Topaz software to reduce digital noise.
