Solitude, Dubai Creek, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 2016

This man sits alone in one of the many small boats docked at the water taxi pier along Dubai Creek. Perhaps he just wants to spend a few moments by himself as a setting sun illuminates the water behind him. He stares straight ahead, with only a smattering of seagulls for company. This image conveys a sense of mood and atmosphere, and also hints at loneliness

Thanks for stressing the mood here, Iris. I have tried to embody the feeling of release this man must be going through at this moment. It is truly a meditative image, but also one tinged with loneliness. He sits alone in the golden glow, along with only a flock of gulls for company.

Against the orange glow of the setting sun, this man appears to be savoring a meditative moment of solitude and calm as the day ends. I love the feeling and the mood you've created in this image.
