Photographer's Note
It was an early morning, and the farmer was alone in his ricefield, preparing for the planting to be done later during the day. The lines of rice will serve as a reference for the other farmers when they start planting.
What I liked about this photo was the man's reflection; it's as if he was not alone working during that time; he was with a trusted 'friend' all along.

Yes Alford, you are not alone, excellent title, the contrast between the blauw colours of water and green colours of the rice are beautiful, also the reflections of the man are lovely, nice composition too.
Thanks,

Ypu are not alone neither this man in his daily agricultural life. Excelent centered composition and in my way of view. I don't recommend cropping from the right, what could be also possible. But the water lower reflexion and the middle flow frame is a must from one side to the other. Excelent colours, and a very good composition. It's my sincereally opinion and angle of critique view.
Thanks for sharing and the best to you!
