Colourful India Photo

Photographer’s Note

Another shot from hardwar. I actually tried to capture the woman but that little boy followed me and posed in front my camera. I like his smile and the overall activities by the side of the Ganga. Hope u like it.

Hi Partha,
I like here the lovely light that enhances the warm tones, your framing is a bit tight, especially on the right side, but comprehensive to get all the elements esential to this view.
Have a nice day,
JEan-Yves

Hi Partha - your pretty compo of this daily life scene demonstrates once again that India is "an assault on the senses"; IMO in addition to the colorful scene on right, the key here is the saddhu cleverly included on the left, filling and balancing the frame... Cheers, Daniel
