Fisherman's Prayer., a photo from Sindh, East

Photographer's Note

Help me to be grateful
For all that is given;
Let me spare what i do not need.

Let me extend the
Great Chain of Being,
Borrowing only a little,
Only briefly,
From Your fluid forge.

Let me live on the water
And return again to solid ground,
Where i will gratefully
Pledge to You
All that is Yours;

The Picture was taken at Sukkur, Sindh Pakistan from the east bank of Famous River Indus or Sindhu Darya.

Hi Agha
Welcome to TE !
I really like the colours here and the mood.
It's a pity the man is looking toward the frame of the picture.
Generally, I don't critic pictures without note. I will make an exception for a newbie

hello Agha

Welcome to TE community although I notice you joined in 2007 without posting a photo and this is your 1st post entry. And sadly, without a NOTE.

I will break my exception for your 1st post without a NOTE and have my comments below

.fayeulle stated about the man's face direction, but of course I understand the muslim prayer must be done facing the direction of Mecca, so his face could be at any other direction, BUT to overcome the composition choice, you could move to the left and place the man at left side of the frame while still keeping the bridge as shown here

.there seems to be tilt of horizon and photo
.it helps to write a good NOTE
.it also helps us to comment if photo info is given

Good shot overall for this 1st post, especially the exposure is well done to set a good mood with the calm water reflection.

tfs, bill
