Photographer's Note

Saddhus somewhere on the road between Chamba and Manali, on their way to a festival. (Ganesh?) In India you can always take your elephant to town with you!

Fun shot!!!I enjoy your photos and your style. They often have a Look and point of view thaat is all your own.

I hope my comments on TL did not seem to harsh. I meant it to be more a huge criticism of the subject and her horrible attitude than your photo.

Have you gotten a new camera yet?

Well, very unusual shot. At least for my daily life standards. Good shot.
Doesn't it happen that some elephants go wild in a big city? Isn't it dangerous?

What kind of petrol does it use ?
Give it parkings for elephant in India ?
Nice shot.

Great shot, Gloria - I like how you got the attention of the two guys and of the elephant (well, at least it appears, lol). Interesting colorful village scene, that tin hut in the back looks quite, ehm, haphazard. Very nice.

Good colors again Gloria and pleasant scene in a good composition .... do take care, here it is visible that you selected out the front man to work on him seperatly but the section mark is still easy to undo .
