[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
Another picture that I took in Varanasi, just wandering around by the river Ganges (Ganga in hindi). This women were having a bath in the holy river, something that is an hindu ceremony. People from all over the country go there to be able to have a bath in these waters, and many people come to die in Varanasi, as they want to rest in this river. Due to that you can see daily corpses being cremated by the river, and then thrown to the waters of Ganga...

What a lovely picture. Excellent exposure and I love the contrast in textures between the ladies and the smooth surface of the water

Hi Maria, My morning in Ganga is unforgetable for me, but for good pictures I had light problems. You did very well in your picture with sharpness, light, moment, colors.TFS.

Good capture of the daily life motif by the river M. There 'posing' is well caught and I like the light in this photo. Good result.

you catch the movement of the arm of the left (or blue) woman, the movement of the neck of the right (oe green) woman, droplets of water.... i like the centring you choose for this picture, juste the two women and the water, nothing else, il like particularly this picture in your collection.

Very powerfull picture here, full of colors & daily live's worries.
The stillness of the moment is very well captured.
The Gange is indeed becoming a problem with that many people bathing & dying there...

Ciao Maria.
Bella foto molto espressiva e piena di significato.
Ottimi colori.
Ciao Renzo

Olá Maria,

La textura de la água, las colores fuertes Y vivas de las tunicas hacen una composicion muy bonita. Por otro lado las expressiones Y gestos de las mujeres estan muy naturales,es como se dice, nos estan para la foto.

Hi Maria

a great capture of the 2 women taking their bath

Regards

This one has really nice colortones Maria, very apealing, and a fine catching moment with the gradiant sharpness of the water texturing going over to a soft background putting the women in evidence sharp focussed. Well done.
greetings

Hi Maria,
Wonderful light management and detail in this well-framed photo. The whole photo seems golden yet the expressions of the women seem inconsistent with this holy activity.

Ola Maria,
a very nice photo, their colourful outfit really pop up against the subtle colour of the water in the background. I like a higher pov, too!
