Girls praying, a photo from Rajasthan, West

Photographer's Note

This is a picture of three girls praying to the sunset in Udaipur. I really love the combinations of the colours of their clothes, and the reflection of their figures in the water. I hope you like it, too.

Best Regards
V兤tor

Hey Victor,

Congratulations. This is TE in its essence: learning about the world, and learning about photography. You mastered the shot with this vibrant colors ...and you resited in doing the easy mirroring for easy left-to-right reading. I like this picture as it is.

What are they holding in their hands?

They look like women apostles or muses or something that defines woman as supernatural being. Beautiful POV, I like that their faces are hidden, it gives more mystic to the photo, even the dark water has its advantages here against a clear blue water.

But what I mostly like is the feeling that they are not into the water, but they look like they are standing ON water!

The best pic I've seen today and believe me I've seen many.

Deepforest (9260) 2008-02-11 13:59

Hi Victor! very good idea and POV, superb composition with their saris floating in the quiet water, charming the contrast between the brown-grey water and the colors of the girl dresses... I think that colors would be wonderful even if not so oversaturated... they seem quite ghosts, so overlighted...
But perhaps that was your idea and finally I really like your photo!

El encuadre cerrado de las tres mujeres es excelente y el bonito contraste de color entre los vestidos y el gris del agua es muy bueno, dan un fuerte efecto crom疸ico a la foto que me gusta mucho.
Es un trabajo atractivo a la vista y bien ejecutado.

Felicidades amigo V兤tor.

Un abrazo.

Quelle belle composition! Les couleurs sont vives, incroyablement belles et ressortent bien sur ce fond un peu glauque!

Excellent!
Chantal

jmcl (14535) 2008-02-11 18:13

Hi Victor,

The saturation .. especially against the dark water .. is stunning ... the reflection makes it otherworldly .. wondrous and thoughtful image.

take care,

John

daddo (28748) 2008-02-11 20:19

Hi Victor. The stillness in this shot is overwhelming. The beauty of colour and form transports us into another reality- one of meditation, spirituality, harmony. Great work.Regards. Klaudio.

Thank for sharing.

danos (110407) 2008-02-12 7:38

Hola Victor,
i was browsing and came across your fine image taken at the most decisive moment,the time that the tree girls praying. I don't think you could better the quality of the colours or the sharpness, they are just outstanding. It's a superb capture,with the colourful shapes of the prayers to be impressive.Well done.

Regards,Danos

tehanu_f (6896) 2008-02-12 9:01

great cadrage! it looks like a scene from a fairy tale with the girls coming out of or going into the water. the reflections are very impressive, too. the only the thing I don't like is the gray frame, which doesn't compliment the vivid colours imho.
Regards,
Fusun

scalerman (26900) 2008-02-12 9:57

Victor: I'll have to give this one full green too. Amazing composition. But what about your post-processing? Any simple tricks? It does seem somewhat over-saturated. regards, c

beautiful image with such a great trio of colours. I love the reflections. It feels really mystical. Great work.

comanu (902) 2008-02-14 22:34

well done victor.
perfect shot. 3 girls like 3 ghost. that`s my impression, the girls are very strange, spirits from other space.
indeed, the colours top quality.

mirarer (4751) 2008-02-15 5:11

Hola Victor,
Llevo unos d僘s desconectada de TE as� que a buenas horas voy a poder decirte yo algo que no te hayan dicho de esta foto. Es perfecta, tiene un colorido vibrante, una composici, un punto de vista y una atmfera muy especiales. Y por supuesto has captado un gran momento de 匤tima religiosidad.
En cuanto a Canada solo te dir� que te decidas por una zona y te centres en ella (salvo que tengas un par de as para viajar). Yo estuv� 33 d僘s y me limit� a British Columbia y la zona de las Rocosas de Alberta que es fronteriza. Viajar por este pa﨎 resulta increiblemente f當il (como por EEUU que creo que ya conoces), te alquilas un coche, siempre encontraras alg佖 motel, hotel para dormir y hay mucha naturaleza de la que disfrutar.
Si quieres mas informaci no dudes en preguntarme.
Un abrazo y hasta otra.

Veig que t'has mogut for軋 per la India, per� aquesta imatge m'ha cridat l'atenci� d'inmediat, l'acudit f瀋il es que nom鑚 falta la noia de verd per ser les fitxes del parxis ;). Ara de deb�, la fotografia es bella per la senzilla composici�, i pel impactant cromatisme que despr駭...Un bon treball!

Hi Victor
The photo that you've just posted makes me discover your gallery that I did not know so far
I'm glad that I did because it looks like you're in love with this country exactly as I am too! I can see it from the way you captured these 3 women totally concentrated on their worship
I'll follow you now from now on, for sure
Have a good end of 2008 and a happy 2009
