Photographer’s Note

This was taken in Wawa Dam, Montalban, Rizal. This man is carrying sacks of coals. From that place he still has to walk for about 500 meters just to take it to the public market. People in this place work everyday, rain or shine.

Maggy: I thought perhaps he was porting coal, or even bound pigs. Effective kinetic composition which doubles as a fine travel photograph. best, c

Hi Maggy and welcome to TE.

The scene is very good and I like it a lot. Light and DOF are very good too.

Regards.

Hello Maggy,
Welcome to TE. This is a very good study of this man's incredibly hard daily grind. Well composed although I think you could increase the focus on the man by cropping some of the background which lacks sharpness and is a little washed out. Good work!
Regards,
Mary
