Photographer’s Note

This is another picture from Jaisalmer. I like the picture because of its depiction of continuity. There are age-old houses--a settlement that has seen continuous life since more than 500 years.

The bent back and going away of the old woman and the stout, proud stance of the new lady-in-charge seems to tell a story.

The light here is perfect - just enought to capture the old woman as she makes her way into the haveli. Excellent.

Superbe Anil. L'ambiance de cette photo me fascine et le jeu d'ombre et de lumière ajoute au mystère de cette scène. Bien vu. Amitiés, Patty.

A wonderful coming together of light, shadows, colors, architecture and human elements. This one is just as good as your earlier post Anil. Very well done.

Enormous strong handeling of light and and deep coloring in the shades makes this very pleasant to look at, that's the advantage of film only a good scan or a good postprocessing you can get all out of it and you did.

this is very good anil.
the body language of the old man reminds me of a photograph taken by steve mccurry in vrindavan.
the colours here are surreal and the light is just out of the world
great photograph
take care :)
