Welcome to TE Jumanah! I hope you will have a great time here.
There is something intriguing in those boots and shoes there. I would have like to see a bit more of the place, to maybe understand a bit more. Maybe include the piece of cloth on the right side. The play with the light is nice.
So, you do snap shots on the streets of jeddah? I hope to be able to see them!

Greetings Jumanah.
What really attracts me here is the monotone nature of this picture. The overall blue tone adds to a somewhat somber mood. I'm used to seeing block such as this because of my job, but I never remember seeing the block containing all of the slits. The small blocks of light add a nice graphic element to the shot. This photo reminds me of scenes from the Anthracite coal region here in the states.
Very well done and welcome to TE.
Chris.

Greetings Jumanah. Interesting choice for your first. Bold design, strong social massage. I presume a lot of the workers would be foreign- there is a sense of improvisation here from them and from you. Well spotted and well done. Salaam. Klaudio.
