HI PARTHA
Great shot! I like the way you caught the action in this, with the boys in mid air. The sense of fun and adventure is communicated very well with this. Well done!

Woow Partha..
I think it is a unique picture.. great photo.. nice B&W. The moment you've just captured is unique with the man jumping and catched in the air.. great compo.

Hi Partha,

Very interesting image of the cattle crossing the overflow river. I think that job is dangerous. Good capture, excellent POV, great perspective.

Well done!

Partha,
a good move to switch to B&W here. I'm sure that it covers some overexposure problems and focus more on the texture and contrast between the water, cows and the boy jumping into the water. It seems that every one is enjoying the monssom time here. Including yourself in getting this decisive moment shot.
Regards, Peter

Hi Partha,
interesting picture and strange feeling when you see this little boy between those huge animals.

Hi Partha,

you captured a nice moment ! Now we know...not only in movies it愀 possible to run over swimming crocodiles or cattle.
Cheers Chris

Hello Partha,
Impressive timing on your part. Certainly not an easy one to catch, but you did it. The diagonal crossing of the animals and the inventive cropping have produced an excellent composition. Great work! Regards,
Hakan

Hi Partha,
Another fascinating river scene from you with a jumping boy. The slightly diagonal line the cows form divide the cadrage nicely. I might prefer a tighter crop and gotten rid of the top part of the image (the buildings and the featureless sky).
Regards.

You have captured this yuthful jump so well and with such vividness of tones and textures. The view is nice and wide and shows a classic sample of Indian life.

1,2,3! what a jump!
A piece of inspiration, not just a photo.

{I think it should have been posted under UP and not WB, as Varanasi is situated there :)}

Great capture, and very original. I'm sure it was beautiful also in colors.

Partha,
An a amazing catch, with beautiful dynamics and action.
I like a lot your BW here.

Hi Partha,

Haha, the diagonal of the water buffalos is great! In the swimming pool in the past, you'd have those playdays and you had to walk to the other side over those foam matresses :-). This guy didn't make it quite to the other side ;-).

Bye! Dennis

Hi Partha,
A very interesting photo, well composed and i like the idea to include the man jumping in the water. It give more life and action to this "static" shot.
Good exposure too to keep enough details.
Regards,
Pierre
