Hello Partha,
Vey colourful shot. You have captured the mood well. one can easily feel the intensity with which she offers her prayer.Usually Indian women wear brightly clad saris when they go to temple especially in North, right? It is wonderfully depicted in your picture.
Regards,
Smitha.

Hello Partha,

Yes, wonderful close-up of the praying woman. Not your usual shot, but it does work very well! I would have tilted it slightly to get all the lines horizontal, but a nice one for sure!!

Greetings,
Dennis

NB: I just added a workshop. Only for fun, the shot is good as it is! ;-)

Hi Partha,

I like the colors and the deepness of the picture, that passes us the intensity of the woman's feeling. Very nitid too, we can see all the details of the flowers and her accessories. Nice shot, congratulations.
