"I have to sit down and rest!"
This is what this farmer is probably thinking.

Being in a bent position, in a muddy field and under the sweltering heat most of the day, one can't help but think of a rest.

But then the work is still unfinished, there are acres and acres of field to plant, so the work must go on.

This is a tribute to the Filipino farmers, who work almost 24 hours for a living, and whose fruits of labor are way much more than their pay.

Yes, he certainly need a rest. It seems to be that you are resting too judging form you sparse posting. Anyway, a more risky compo would be a diagonal hedge cutting the frame in the middle. JMHO.

Hi Alford, A agree with you on your title to this picture. Planning rice is one of the hardest endurance work. You have well captured the hard working farmer in the muddy field. A well taken picture.

Hi Alford, welcome back! Wow that is hard work and you have shown the struggle very well. That is truly backbreaking work. Compositionally the shot is very good. Well done Alford!

For sure, working on rice fields should not be so easy. He must hurt his back to stay like this, such a hard conditions. Good catch Alford, the green is very attractive here.
