These are great shots. The first one - wow! the closeup portrait, the widow, the hay gathering. I feel these photos are great on their own as art but also important to capture these simple scenes from the countryside for future generations. Such scenes will not be here in a generation or two.
You're spot on. In fact these scenes are already hard to find as village people are not what they were once. Many are moving to villages, to have a quiet life, but they are not working the land and the houses look more luxurious than in some cities.
