"One-legged rowers" on Inle Lake

"One-leg rowing" is an endemic form of transportation on the waters of Inle Lake in Myanmar. The rowers from the Intha people stand with one leg on the small platform at the stern of their wooden boat with almost artistic skill. You grasp and move the rudder with your other leg.
For a small donation of money, this "one-legged rower" posed a little for me.

Very good composition. I am very struck by the reflections and, above all, by the extraordinary light achieved. The treatment of the lights is very well compensated.
Congratulations and my like.
