    The thing I like about this photo is that, not until you find the man do you appreciate the scale of the image, then the horizon adds to its depth and then it all comes together to tell the story, really like it a lot.

    I love the simple lines of composition in this image. Combined with the great and powerful emotional impact, it is elevated to the realm of exceptional. There is a reverance to the figure’s position, almost like in prayer or meditation.
