  1. This picture evokes peace and quiet, the splash as the paddle sinks in the water, the cold touch of the breeze, the long personal history of the old man, his experience and wisdom. The mild hues reinforce all this. Excellent composition.

  3. What a fantastic picture! Love the point of view. The background is great too with the river and forests.

    Interesting shape of paddles, haven’t seen them like that :)

    Happy Monday!

    Kind regards,

  4. It is a very nice picture. In fact, all pictures taken in Kashmir are naturally beautiful without sophisticated cameras. I took some photographs with a basic Nokia phone. They all came out very well, one of which is on my Home page.
