Reed Man

This is an infrared photo processed as BW. It's a photo taken on a foggy morning on the Chindwin River in northern Myanmar. Long reeds had been gathered into bunches and placed on the ground, likely for drying. This man would pick up a bunch and move it to another spot, perhaps to change its orientation to the sun. As he re-positioned the bunches, the reeds would form a frame around him. Taken with an Olympus E-M5, 1/400, 45mm lens, f/3.2 and ISO 200. C & C welcome. Richard

I like the composition and the b&w works very well. It tells a story very well.

Beautiful scene, the arching reeds forming such a nice frame for this man at work. Love the white hat as a point of focus. Very nicely seen and captured. Congrats on the weekly pick.
