Hello Elaine.
That's an appealing juxtaposition of the Shiva and the sadhu sitting cross legged. Great colours and an interesting graphical element provided by the corrugated appearance of the platform the men are on.
Regards,
Andrew

Hello Elaine

A superb daily life scene from India & a good group portrait. Good to have one man looking away from the camera away to the top left. Vibrant colour & good sharpness. Have a nice Sunday!

Didn't I just write something about me finding any combination of portraits and letters completely irresistable?

Here I like how the men just stare, while the god smiles and says 'hi' to the photographer. What a pose!

Hi Elaine
Very nicely done, a real cool street photography again expertly captured and wonderfully blended the photogenic background to real life. You've retained lovely detail in some vibrant eyecatching colors while the shiva is essential to the potency, holds the picture together. A natural candid showing the casual friendliness of the figs that conveys the feeling of a moment of relaxation perfectly, the interesting aspects of everyday life here. Astounding piece of work, very effective treatment. Great!
Best regards
