Hello Rajeev,

You have captured the basic essence of life very well here..!!! Keeping the man in one corner of the frame was a great idea..with water sprinkling all across the frame.

This man must be a worker somewhere and after his hard work has come to quench his thirst and in the process is giving a lot of water to the grass also...

Another wild point of view just came in my mind just looking at the way water is coming out of the tap...IT IS LOOKING LIKE A SMALL COMET WITH ITS LONG TAIL IS COMING FROM THE LEFT IS GETING FILLED IN HIS BOTTLE.

If I look at it from the above point of view then the top of the tap becomes the intersection point of the human,the space and the earth... IT GIVES AN ACTION PERSPECTIVE TO THAT CORNER OF THE PHOTOGRAPH WITH CALM SURROUNDINGS....just a wild thought..!!

A beautiful and simple daily life scene with a useful note.The lighting was stong, and combined with the BW tones it gives a good atmosphere, but,my opinion...it is too much sharpness here
A big hug for you, my friend

Hello Rajeev.
You say he watered the trees his whole life and now the sprinkler does it for him?

That gives me an interesting viewpoint into your wonderful photo. The trees apparently respect him for his service. It seems to me that they are all arched towards the man as he lets a jet of water go into his bottle. I see three that definately bow to him! The lush canopys reaching for the life that is provided by sun and water. The ability to have a story in a photo (whether intended or not) is the beauty behind a keen eye. Your photos tell a thousand and one tales. Further proof can be found in Indro's notes!!
Cheers good friend and brother.
