Took this picture while on a Desert Safari in Dubai last year. I love the contrast between the guy on the right wearing traditional Arab dress and the guy on the left that he's swapping numbers with wearing western dress. Also love the fact that he has a mobile in his hand, a symbol of modernisation. Was a nice moment.

Would've been a perfect shot if not for that guy in the cap in the lower right corner. Any way to possibly clone him out ? Or if not that, how about maybe cropping him out & adding a border to maintain the size ratio. Just some ideas & my 2 cents worth ....otherwise a very telling moment.

Yes, I agree with you , the contrast between the 2 men and their mobile is kind of funny. But I also love the beautiful background with the shadows and the ripples .Very nice shot.

In this is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. 1 John 4:10

Super capture. I agree about that guys head, it is slightly distracting, but the location, meaning, composition and backdrop to this photo is great. Very nice work.

Cheers.........
