very nice sir. I didn't notice the kid til I opened the thumbnail, she makes the shot! Nice colours of course, and the the girl and woman complement each other. So you're in (or just back from) India eh? I'm a bit jealous!

Two standout things for me in this shot, Luko: the single eye of that boy staring right into your lens, and the way that pink color traverses the frame. A very smart, delicate composition.
Best from New York,

actually, italian gestures language differs from region to region...there are special dictionaries on the napoli "slang" for instance, and the napoli people are the most expressive they say....
i found the way you started your note quite curious, sounded like a set randevoues, several times put off in the past, and finally taking place, rewarding, as her being dressed in red...

and the little one? also speaking with hands? what a couple!
best wishes, j.

Hi Luko..
Most of the frame dominated by Red/Pink color..
left side of the frame is quite bright & Thumbnail with Momtaz mark..
At right side..again drop in brightness infact working well.

Every Indian has to join 5 Years training course for gracefully hand moving. :D

Probably that is the thing..making Indian Photos even more expressive.
What body language Sohrab always talks about is just not the Hand sign language but expressions & putting your sole in your thoungs that you are expression..Allowing natural action or reflexes..& only hand is the part that can be move across & even Neck many times..;o)

Though Photo is full of color Luko but still..;)
-Regards,

The eyes of the kid are piercing.
Cheers,
Prem.

Zut, t'as pas réussi à trouver un voile vert bouteille ... ch'uis déçu. A la place tu nous trouve une 'Lady in Red' qui en ferait rougir Chris De Burgh.

Le jeu de couleurs rouge/jaune terre bien composé avec ce voile semi-ouverte en guise d'invitation. Jolie transparence ...

Mmmm ... je suis agréablement surpris de voir ce petit visage en contre-jour aussi bien éclairée ... tu avais un groooooooooos t-shirt blanc ou quoi ;o) !

Merci, Alain -

These colours, Luko, are already intoxicating to begin with. But that little girl's peeking under the drying sari and her hand gesture somewhat mimicking her mother's is what makes this shot really so powerful to me. I am DYING for these colours; here up in the North we have had a winter filled with dark and rainy days, my hunger is ceaseless. This has been utterly reviving!
Love this series, Luko!

of course the light is wonderful through the cloth, but it is the hands of both the child and the woman that are strikingly different here.

Et si je semais la zizanie, en suggérant qu'il s'agit d'un "hijra" nommé Mumtaz (un nom si raffiné !)? Je suis surprise que personne n'ait encore rien dit...

Mais bien sûr, on est surtout frappés en 1er lieu par la composition, le voile si bien cadré, aux subtiles couleurs rouges / roses dans le soleil, le regard timide de l'enfant qui ose à peine voir d'un seul oeil, puis bien sûr les puissants bras poilus de ladite Mumtaz, qui sait s'exprimer avec les mains comme beaucoup d'Indiens aux gestes élégants, tout(e) à son explication, et finalement on admire le contre-jour en forme d'aura sur les pourtours de son voile et retour sur ses mains, en même temps on remarque la cour, plutôt le mur à l'arrière plan...

Et qu'importe après tout, si Mumtaz est un hijra, ou une dobhi (lavandière) ou une femme exerçant une autre profession manuelle, ce qui expliquerait ses doigts vraiment virils et ses avant-bras musclés...

En définitive, j'admire surtout le cadrage et le contre jour et bien sûr, l'ensemble du tableau.
Très bien vu.
Cath.
