Wonderful portrait ! Intent look, and the hayfork, his tool of trade, is perfect. The B&W is also an excellent decision.
How did you get all these people's permission to pose and shoot them? I found most in Africa very hesitant when I asked, even when i offered food, water, or money. I guess using their native language was useful..

Thank you Sandy for your comment. These people here in the Emirates are mostly for Pakistan. These people and very humble and nice and do not mind if we take their pictures. Yes taking a picture of a female would be a problem. I just asked him to pose for me with his hayfork and he obliged.
