Salut Vincent,
well captured moment of contemplation. For European eyes (at least for mine) a strange impression of him, well managed light here. The composition is well done and the flowers at right good to be kept.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

Hi Vincent!

Everything in your picture is scary, as you mentioned when you describe the scene. And the way you captured it translates the almost surrealistic aspect of the happening very well. When I see pictures of that kind I always wonder what is really contemplation and religion and what is show or just a pretext for smoking and having fun...

Well seen, well done, a great picture with a very special atmosphere!

Kind regards
Markus

Salut Vincent,
Bien cadré cet homme très concentré, la position du bras donne de l'ampleur à l'image et ton cadrage la bien intégré en donnant de la place dans ce sens à la photo.

You seem to have been there at an important time, Vince. This Sadhu, looks rather magnificent and impressive too. Much better that the regular Pashupatinath gang of holy guys , the we all know so well. he is nicely composed in a interesting and angular recess Nicely exposed too, and full of fascinating detail. regards kevin

Salut Vincent

A superb daily life scene & portrait of this Indian mystic, with the closed eyes adding to the mood. Good sharpness & framing. Merci pour le partage!

Hi Vincent!

Incredible portrait, worth to be published in the best travel magazines of the world, even in National Geographic. A beautiful moment, you have captured the calmness but also some kind of inner tension. Congratulations!

Hi Vincent!
A great portrait of this strange looking mande.I like his pose and expression and the warm brown tones arround him.With his closed eyes the image has a mysterious atmosphere.

Hello Vincent
A good portrait of the Naga sanyasi meditating. Ash covered just as Shiva was, your note after reading, does give a scary impression. The smoke in the FG also adds the scene. Well done!

Crazy and interesting story in the note. I like a lot the mood of this portrait, although it's a pitty the tight crop on the bottom. Nevertheless, a fascinating place and shot.

ca a vraiment du être un moment fort et intense en emotions que de voir cette cérémonie... avec cette foule hystérique ou proche de l'hystérie collective... et cet arbre qui tombe tel un message divin à destination de ces fidèles... en tout cas, une excellente photo, esthétiquement belle et chargée de mystère...

Salut Vincent, mon anglais n'est pas au top mais j'ai vaguement compris quelle était la raison de cette amas de foule autour de cet hindu ;) Il me semble que tu avais déjà mis une photo sur TE de cette personne mais toujours plaisant de le revoir cet homme qui aime jouer avec sa b...
Marrant, exotique pour sur ;)

Salut ,

Je suis paresseux écrire en Français... 8-(

Those guys have a natural (and trained?!) talent for posing, haven't they? But getting good portraits of them isn't so easy, namely because of the light and the people around them. As always, besides a great portrait, you managed to get a good POV/compo, showing him in context very nicely.

I would still praise the excellence of the exposure under those adverse light conditions even if I hadn't read the note.

Quite an experience, I imagine, hum!?

Amicalement, José.

PS: You know that I am kind of sad because I concluded definitively that I can't get any decent scan of the dozen photos I have with sadhus in Pashupatinath (at least until I get another scanner). I must confess that one year in TE also made me change my opinion about how good most of those photos really are. 8-)

Ce portrait est magnifique! La composition est superbe et les tons chauds tout en nuances apportent une douceur qui colle parfaitement avec le sujet.
C'est très bien vu!

Salut Vincent,
anecdote "érotique?" et ambiance garantie autour d'une photo toute en mystère. On peut comprendre l'impact de ces gens sur les "croyants".
