Sunrise in Bithur, a photo from Uttar Pradesh, Nord

Photographer's Note

Bithur is a small town near Kanpur, home to India's premier engineering institute, IIT. I had visited there last year and it was really a great experience for me to explore this small town. I loved it!

Dear Shaeri
Never heard of this place...Bithur! India has so much to offer...this seems to be a part of a palace. Difficult exposure issue, but you handled well and the PP work. The sunrise is superb! Fine framing as well
Best Wishes
Angshumanda

hello Shaeri,

wonderful shot of this romantic sunrise. Beautiful view with great reflections on the water's surface, which looks like a giant mirror. Excellent framing and interesting POV. Bravo!

have a nice weekend,
johannita

Namaste Shaeri.I lost track of you and your work. Nice to see that you are still active. I do love the mood here-the stillness, the promise of a new day, the pause before humans and animals come alive. The composition is lovely with the two "windows" unto the river, one occupied by the sun, the other by the boats. Great tones. My compliments on an image of the mystical, poetic India. Klaudio.

Hi Shaeri
Well its nice to hear from you and I see that you are now based in CT. Welcome back. This is an especially nice image with the boat and dock providing FG interest and the sun providing a BG focal point. Both nicely framed by the arches.

Hi Shaeri,

Liked the shot....Most interesting is the framing...two different views in each part of the openings...as Angshumanda said, the exposure managed very well..

Regards,
Ambar

Hi Shaeri,
you have presented here a beautiful scene with a nice POV. Great colours of sunset. Perfect exposer that gives the magical colour of sky. The is sun cleverly position. Great depth. The archer looks great with those boats.
Khub bhalo chhobi, asadharan mood.

Hello Shaeri,

Esthetism in the compostion of this photograph, good choice from the point of view to bring much poetry in this exotic image, I like much. The sunrises are always privileged moments and when the landscape is also beautiful it is a real pleasure. Beautiful and resting photo, thank you Shaeri.

With all my friendships and with soon,

Jean-Charles

Hello shaeri
A lovely composition. interesting how you got interesting low light on all valuable parts with such a "small sun" because of sun just starting rising.
Peacefull picture indeed.
Warm regards
JMarc

Hi Shaeri,
It's so... wonderfully Indian... It's the kind of image that fits perfectly in the fabled idea many of us have of India of the rajahs. I assume that the river is the Ganges.

José

Hi Shaeri
You made good use of the arches to naturally frame this romantic scene, with sunset and small boats to complement the shot. Nice soft colors convey the atmosphere very well.
Greetings

Beautiful and romantic synthesis! Love the dark more lit antithesis and separation in the picture that is created by the sun setting! Thank you for sharing! Regards Stella
