the boy is creating his own path with the scratches on sand by his collection, a bundle of conch sells...

Hi Subhendu,
Indeed a good original photo.
I really like the POV with the path created by the scratches of shells in the foreground, the two "fishermen" in the middle ground, with two spots of bright colours as eye-catchers, and the crowd in the background.
I wonder what the crowd was doing standing on the beach ? It looks as though they are waiting for some kind of event...
Thanks for sharing and have agood weekend.
Marie-Louise.

Namaste Subhendu,

A very unusual but effective composition, with the young man dragging his net full of conch shells. The wet sand is obviously quite hard, otherwise the combed track would have been much deeper. At the horizon a multitude of people comes into focus.

Warm regards and have a good weekend,

Bulent
