Hi Yass,
a pic full of tranquillity. The cinemascope format works well here.
Compliments, chris

Salam Ya Yass, Well composed shot with the man sailing into the image. the panoramic framing works well too, increasing the dynamism. I would have liked to have gone to the marshes when I was in Iraq, but found it difficult to get information at that time, just 1 month before Iraq invaded Kuwait. Great to see that life is returning to the marshes. Cheers, Steve

Hello Yass,
This is a well composed picture with nice, soft colours. It's also great to get a message of hope among all the dreadful news from Iraq. Considering the history of this area this is a very interesting photo.
Best wishes,
Gert
