Two people stretch the Duppatta as it billows in the soft morning light, compositionally dividing the image in half. The man's bust is mirrored in his shadow on the scarf. A laundry sign is visible in the background, and the cement shines with water. The vignetting around the edges of the image evokes an ethereal and timeless mood.
