oh wow! what an unusual subject, very rare in TE. So this is part of a wedding ceremony and i guess AALIM is the one who fixes the engagement contract. anyway very good subject and well done. to improve you could get a closer shot to get rid of the person in the left.

Interesting shot. I particularly like the expression on the guy on the left. It looks like he's listening very intently to the advice that he's getting. I also like all the varying neutral tones on the clothes, the skin, and the drape in the back. I tried a workshop with a closer crop. See what you think.

An interesting cultural perspective. In the first shot I did wonder why the women were absent, your note mentioned that they were waiting to go over to the bride's house. An Aalim is an elder? An interesting division of responsibilities within the advice that is given. The image could be a little clearer. It is a pity that there is a form on the left, but I suppose it could not be avoided.
