Great composition here. Good details in the whites too.

Viewed from a different perspective, the mounds of white look like they are flying. Very nice illusion!

very unique in composition. really enjoy it.

Nice composition. A story-telling picture.

What a wacky abstract this would make if you cropped from the top of the hat to the bottom of the photo, just leaving the heaps. I'm having trouble getting much feeling our of this, not knowing what's going on. Harvesting gravel, planting rock salt? Don't tell me that's rice, sitting around wet like that can't be good, can it?

These are sea-salt evaporation ponds. The sea-water is pumped to the clay-lined, shallow ponds, let evaporated for a week or two, and the cristals are scraped from the bottom to be subsequently refined. Quite a big industry in the area; workforce is predominantly female.

Thanks for the background info. It really is a good composition. You did a nice job.
