   Very pleasing image. I particularly like the cloud formations and the fiery color of the sky.

   Places with lots of poverty and floods are probably generally more beautiful than rich industrial contries that rape their land and seas in the process of extracting resources and feeding their overpopulation.

   I think the symmetry of the cloud and the tree is wonderful. The colour of the sky sillohettes the boatman beautifully.

    I think this is quite a brilliant shot. Don’t look at the sky, don’t think about poverty or the country or the flood. I don’t think that was Bir’s intention. Just look at the figure for a few seconds. With this dusky sky in the background this boatman looks like a giant statue of some ancient god descended from the Olimpus. Great shot, Bir. Thanks!
