    Mike, you have captured the depth of effort and hard work of these men with great strength and sensitivity. Their shared toil is caught here at the moment their heads touch and their burden is passed from one to the other. This specific moment in time gives a sense of the rhythm of their daily lives that they share with many others, both in the present and for generations passed.
    The bright sun seems symbolic of the strength, the timelessness and the dignity that you have portrayed here so beautifully.
    Thank you. This is superb.

    One of the best images I’ve seen lately. You captured the essence of hard labor and the people doing it. Technically the image is presented in such color, depth and light that emphasize the image strength. Thanks for sharing with the Art of the Middle East group.

    Great image, I like the colour an tonal treatment you have used very much – looks a bit like the new Leica M9 advertising shoot in Cuba (that’s meant as a compliment!) CP:-)
