Travelers, caption and negative space

[ah_u3]

Hello everyone, I took this on a trip to Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, I'm in a little hurry- as always- so Please feed me back generally, about the B&W conversion, composition, this has been taken with a cheap kit lens so sharpness had a lot of work to be done so please feed me back on that, oh and the caption, I've always been fond of photos linked to stories and being a writer myself helped, but I'm getting to feel like I lost some of it, so please feed me back on the caption too, and sorry for the rush !


Travelers by Ahmed Yousry
On the way to the summit of Mount Sinai, two travelers stand out in a rather busy road, carrying supplies up to the mountain, local people can go up and down like a breeze, while visitors take at least 3 hours to only reach the top.



Oh and one last thing, is it too much negative space in the sky?? since it's not linked to the subject ?? or does it add balance to the busy foreground, thanks guys, keep shooting

I just love this.
It's a picture that speaks, that tells a story.
If you want to crop the sky a little, that's OK but not too much. I feel it actually adds to the picture.
Wonderful work, Ahmed!

I agree a lovely shot, I would leave it as is. It tells a great story.

I would actually crop the sky a little but either way its still an outstanding shot

Great shot! I almost like the empty space in the sky it make it feel bigger.....I think it would look fab either way.
