Nature's Holi[y] Photo

Photographer’s Note

The day following Holi is Rang Panchami. It's also known as 'Dhuli Vandan' in Maharashtra & 'Dhuleti' in Gujrat. Holi is the festival of colous. People play with colours & slash coloured water on each other. Everyone tries to colour other with his/ her own colour, but at the end of the day it seems as if everyone is coloured with a universal, one, same colour.
Holi also announces the start of summer. Temperatures keep on soaring till the on-set of monsoon during june in major parts of India.
This picture was taken on the Rangpanchami day at Akshi beach of Alibag region in Maharashtra. It seems the sky & the earth have decided to celebrate the festival of colours in their own way with setting sun supplying them unlimited colors ...

Hello Gautam,

Beautiful shot of the sunset,,and it surely better than the original..the colours are soothing to the eyes and that small reflection on the beach is looking good.

the minimalistic appearences of the silhotted figures are contributing to the enormity of the whole scene..!!Just wanted to know if you purposefully did the framing like that..?????

Regards,

Indro

Hi Gautam,
It is certainly an improvement over the original and it looks good. Some say sunsets are chiches but I find them visually fascinating specially when you have silhouetted opportinities like this. I don't agree particularly with the framing idea though.
Best Wishes
