What is this?, a photo from Al Kuwait, East-Central

Photographer's Note

I took this photo during my last visit to Kuwait.
The Oud is a small, pear-shaped, stringed musical instrument (similar to Lute), still in use in traditional Middle Eastern music.
The oldest pictorial record of a oud dates back to the Uruk period in Iraq, over 5000 years ago on a cylinder seal currently housed at the British Museum.
According to Al-Farabi, (Muslim philosopher) that the OUD was invented by Lamak, the sixth grandson of Adam. The legend tells that the grieving Lamak hung the body of his dead son from a tree. first OUD was inspired by the shape of his son's bleached skeleton.

Hello Muath,
Nice note. But not a good picture IMO. An abstrast ofcourse but not composed well I should say. The body is visible but I think the String and the other parts are really shaky.Are there two strings together or is that a weird shake? If its a shake, I believe them to be unintentional.

Dull looking color tones , borders not visible.
Im not trying to be rude.But this is what I think.
