Photographer's Note
‘Mumbai - A street near Banganga Tank’
A simple street scene this time but I remembered lots of pictures have been posted on TE, mostly taken in Mediterranean countries, showing groups of (older) men enjoying sitting together and chatting somewhere on the street or on a square.
Often, someone asked why there were only men and where were the women.
This time the reverse situation :)
The picture is taken in the neighbourhood around the Banganga Tank.
See photos in the WS.
In full town there’s a small enclave of temples, a bathing place and pilgrims’ rest houses.
Unfortunately, there were not many pilgrims during my visit.
According to Hindu legend, Lord Ram created this tank by piercing the earth with his arrow.

Hallo Paul,
Een mooi straatgezicht met deze drie dames in hun kleurrijke kleding. De deur op de achtergrond is heel mooi met prachtige details, vooral natuurlijk ook de twee beelden aan beide zijden. Mooi licht-/schaduwcontrast ook.

Ha! Ha! Paul, I really believed your quip about Malgo! But it's true, she has been everywhere!
I really like your shot for many reasons. Yes, it's good to see that women do have time to get together to chat and maybe, joke. But I like their vibrant clothes and happy demeanour and the setting is so perfect for showing their location.
It's a well composed and perfectly sharp photograph, despite the obvious movement.
Mumbai looks like a fantastic place to explore!
Have a good day,
Bev :-)

Hello Paul,
To my surprise I have probably not been here. ;-) I had to look it up on the map, and I don't think I ever was in this area. Three excellent photos, and although many would possibly have chosen one of the workshops for main upload, I firmly believe this is the best one. The woman to the left shows such an interest in the sculpture, while the other two are having a nice chat. There is a action and interaction, lots of interesting details, a wonderful light and the fantastic colours of the saris. An extra plus for your slightly elevated position.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Paul,
Saw the WS's pictures and must say that #2 WS should be kept to be posted as main photo in coming days - it has all the elements to show a wonderrful part of this place. Merely my humble opinion.
The main photo here depicted a nice moment when two ladies were exchanging views on a written subject in the paper... the third woman was looking for the opening hours sign...
A nice take on the streets of Mumbai.
Good afternoon,
Ike

Hello Paul,
Thanks for the story in Workshop :). It made me laugh. And it is true that I was there. Indeed, usually we see just the men sitting lazy and we suppose that the women are working home at that time. But it happens in Mediterranean. In India I often saw the groups of the women, like here. Of course, I like the WS pictures, but this is the best. Beautiful entrance, but how these women look elegant in their sari. Charming composition.
Kind regrads MAlgo

Dag Paul,
Mijn vraag, waar is Malgo nog niet geweest!
Uw foto geeft heel mooi weer het dagelijks leven zoals het ginder is.
De kledij en het schoeisel vallen me steeds op.
Maar uw foto is heerlijk samengesteld en perfect gepresenteerd.
Mooi gedaan, bedankt.
Prettig weekend,
John.

Hi Paul
Three women nicely photographed with the best light conditions to show those warm colors. The façade is a great backdrop. Excellent work.

Hello Paul,
This is so classically Indian. The colorful saris are wonderful, and I like the statues beside that ornate door. This was taken in January, but it seems to be very warm and sunny. The lighting is warm and lovely, too.

Hallo Paul,
Missed this one. Here I like the contrast between the stooped elderly woman with a walking stick and the straight upright statue. A superb daily life scene with excellent sharpness and framing. Tfs!

Hello Paul.
Wonderful moment captured in this photo, very attractive what looks like the entrance of a temple, with the two sculptures on the sides of that story door, the ladies sitting and the old woman walking, all with their colorful saris, add a great color to the scene.
Magnificent composition and color.
Excellent brightness and sharpness.
Well done. I love the photo.
Have a good week.
Very best regards.
Luis.

Hi Paul
hahaha...funny joke about Malgo...but the funny thing is it could very easily be true.
and yes, interesting observation about the women and men socializing, this time its a small group of women. its fun to investigate their clothing choices, and then we have the eye catching door as well. lots to see in this 'simple' scene, nothing wrong with that. cheers

Dag Paul
Zo’n groepje vrouwen lijkt mij heel wat kleurrijker dan een groepje mannen die waarschijnlijk allemaal een donker pak aan hebben. De opvallende houding van de dames nodigt wel weer uit tot het fantaseren van een eigen verhaal, maar ik ben vooral naar dat stukje papier waar de vrouw recht zo geobsedeerd naar lijkt. De workshop forto’s geven een mooi aanvullend beeld van de stad.
Groet Rob

Hi Paul,
What a colorful scene, again mainly thanks to the colorful dresses of the ladies. The facade is nicely decorated here and the ladies next to it complement the decoration.
Very well seen and captured,
