Extreme humidity and fasting means no water for upto 15 hours, missed work means no food for day. Took his 5 seconds, hope he forgives me.

    Not sure I understand the comment. Something lost in translation maybe, but wonderful image.

    I'm guessing time equates to this mans life - literally. Between his religious activities and work, I believe the shooter was asking for forgiveness for taking this mans time to capture an image. Time the subject will never get back.

    An amazing shot IMO.....

    Sorry guys for not being clear. Actually he is porter who transports good from one place to another in a cart on his head, it is not a hat but a cart of goods which can weigh upto 25-35kg. Such porters can be seen in busy markets.

    I swear this morning I wrote "great to see you here Awais, always great work!" but obviously I didn't post it, or something happened. Anyway, great to see you here Awais, always great work!
