hi james, it is not often that we see such breathtaking scenes - the simplicity of it is just georgeous, the b&w approach with highly contrasted "luck of" other than the main subject things is just great;
lovely work;
best wishes, jerzy

I like the simple composition. I think it is more effective with all the white space around it rather than cropping it.

Hi James. This post is really poetic. The Postprocessing does help to focus on the traditional activity and to add a mysterious touch. I love it. Can you share some more information about that scene and the place itself ?
