Nice to see some human interest, for a change. Good photo with lots of depth and colour. You could have changed the angle slightly, and zoomed in a bit more on the subject so that he dominated the picture.

Great lighting on this diamond worker who doesn’t look like he’s about to retire. Thanks for sharing this unique and rather dramatic environmental portrait!

I am speechless, deeply moved by this man’s resilience. Thanks for sharing this picture, which shows the hard lives of most people in this world.

Hard work & long hours are certainly nothing new to this man.
I think I’ve seen this before, but certainly worth seeing again.

Doen’t it look at our civilization right in the face. Merci de votre témoignage Rahmat.

Interesting lighting, specially its directional nature with the shadow leading to the mining equipment.Was it intentional or serendipity?
