[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
In the hills about 40 km from Araku valley, I spent a wonderful day in a deep, dense fog... It was raining the whole afternoon ; great opportunities to take photos, though, even then...

Specially early in the morning, all the persons met in this small village (Dhumku, where I rented a hut for 2 days) were like surprising, surreal apparitions, suddleny there and quickly disappearing in the fog : absolutely enchanting, even if uncomfortable !

I tried too many versions of this one, still not satisfied but there it is.
(Other photos from the same village, here).

Bonjour Catherine,

Superbe cette ambiance qui est bien montrée par le cadrage et surtout les 3 personnes en premier plan qui habillent et habitent cette scene.
Bon, effectivement il y a du bruit, et ca limitera l emploi de cette photo a des petits formats, mais ca ne m empeche pas de bien aimé.

Yves.

Ciao Cath! E' una bella scena, con tanta luce, e mi piace l'atteggiamento dei tre personaggi. Forse i colori a destra sono un po' strani.
Ciao!!!

Hey Cath,

I think this is a wonderful picture with a lot of potential. I'm saying potential because I think you didn't go to your limits with post production here. It looks very nice in colour yet you forgot about reducing the colour grain just a bit. In my opinion it would help a lot and give the picture much more softer look.

I'm mostly a B&W person that's why I've tried to do a workshop of this picture in a B&W manner. I hope you like it.

Best

Fantastic fog photo. The imagary of the 3 people walking away into it is just perfect - it's very India and captures the essence of this region. A beauty slice of life!

hello catherine
beautiful morning mood here... i like that gracious mother's figure folloewed by her son. the tree silhouette lies very comfortably in your composition too. as to the workshop: i tend to disagree... enhancing contrasts (that's what curves adjustment seems to have done) on a foggy/misty shot loses the essence of displaying FOG... also, i like that slight reminder of blue (goes well with the misty morning mood) in her sari but i agree, the hint of the road color in the right corner could be lost. otherwise, the WS seems just plain harsher to me: and I do not see why that harshness would be needed in this scene.

warm regards,
kristaps

Salut Catherine,
Superbe image prise au bon moment. La petite famille s'enfonce dans ce brouillard qui cache tout.
Bien vu
Marc

Ciao Caterina, affascinante composizione di famiglia resa magica dalla nebbia, brava, ciao Silvio

le cadrage est impeccable, rien à redire, bon timing, avec cette visibilité qui se réduit peu à peu, une ambiance superbe se dégage de cette photo
amicalement

slm catherine çok hoş bir çalışma eline sağlık çok güzel bir kadrajı ve atmosfer, var

Very good shot..atmosphere made the shot mystic..very well done...subir

I may say - the same story applies to this cutie...
There are so many of them from India, it's only natural to slightly shrug your shoulders...
Yet...
It's good, Cathy.
This stuff is ALWAYS good :-)))

Hi Catherine

A very under rated shot with lots of mood & atmosphere from the fog & mist. The 2 people add a nice human element, & I like the muted graphism. Merci et bon weekend!

Bonjour Catherine,
Wooow this is superb. The misty background, the wonderfully defined silouettes, and the colorful woman and child walking make this a prize winner. Simply wonderful.
Je vous shouaite un excellent weekend. Amities. Salvator.
