HAVELI, a photo from Uttar Pradesh, North

Photographer's Note

Varanasi is one of the old cities of India. The architectural views, the Buildings( HAVELI in local language) are also interesting thing for photographying. Here is one of the buildings. I like the deep red shade of the building.

Very nice! An interesting building. The door frame is very unique with much detail. The man looks very at peace with himself. TFS

Wonderful colours here Partha, and lots of interesting detail - I especially like the elephant, although I wish you hadn't chopped off it's back foot!
It may not have been possible if the alleyway was very narrow, but I'd have liked to have seen this taken from directly in front of the building instead of from an angle.
Even so , the way you did it works well too.

Cheers,
Ben

Hello Partha. I find this scene very effective. The man at right balances nicely with the almost negative space at left. Very nice work!

Great colors and POV. I like the big red wall and the blue oof the dress which makes a perfect contrast. Very nice to have placed the man on a side.

hello Partha,

A beautiful scene, the deep red colour and the drawning on the wall is fantastic. Nice angle too.

Hi Partha. The paintings on the wall and its backcolour, the man timingly comes out of the building, and the strong line of the yellow entrance.. beautiful composition. Lovely!

Partha'da...U've been able to capture the true essence of Varanasi with this Haveli shot. This is very interesting shot, the painting on the wall the the figure of the man coming out this very ornamental door complement each other beautifully. This is really good shot and here you once again prove your amazing skills. Keep going... :)
Regards
Bodo

Hi Partha
Great moment here with the man walking out the door. You pov of view is quite dynamic even though it would have been nice to have the whole elephant leg in the picture. I too like the rich red wall. The slight movement of the man contrasts nicely with the sharpness of the rest of the photo.
Regards

First of all, the colour really graebs my attention in this, with the bright red and blue really going together very well. Wonderful detail too, and of course the man walking out of the building gives this it's own little mini-story. Well done!

Beautiful picture, Partha. I like the composition with that man coming out of the door and the slight motion of his movement. Beautiful colours, specially the red wall with that picture of the elephant. Nino

Just want to add my voice to the chorus of approval. Very rich colour. Maybe a step back would have yielded perfect framing.
