Usman- Amazing work my friend. I love the framing and the composition. I agree with you about the light. The furrows in the sandy soil add so much to the picture. Love the colors and sharpness of the man working his camel, cultivating the land. Incredible work my friend.
Have a great day, enjoy. #8440590

Thanks a million all. Actually, I had to walk this sandy plain quite a bit to get here. By the time, I reached back to my car, my socks and joggers were full of sand!

But you timed it just right...the light is outstanding in this...the burrows and composition are also great...very nice image, Usman...and well worth the effort! Photographing you doing this would have been a great MT entry.

Thanks Patti, never thought of having my picture taken. Actually, I had a couple of photographers friends with me but they stayed close to the car and opted not to venture this far to capture the scene!!

Good for you for making the trek away from the car. I like the camel just fine, but it is the long rows of peaks and valleys in the soil that I like best here! #8543327
