Photographer's Note
Every evening a walk on Puri beach deserve special moments. The beach on fishermen village's side is not clean but the meeting with the people are really rewarding.
Puri as known to the Hindus all over the world is a holy town located on the eastern coast of India. Besides being a religious center, Puri is also known for the good stretch of the white sand beaches on the banks of Bay of Bengal. The easy accessibility from almost all the major towns and cities of India, wide beaches, the fishing farms and the superb resorts make it an important tourist destination and a major base point to visit the nearby important sites.
The famous temple of Lord Jagannath and the annual Rath yatra festival here attract a large number of tourists every year. The Jagannath Temple is one of the four most important Hindu pilgrimage sites or the chardham, the other three being Dwarka, Badrinath, and Rameshwaram.
Moreover, the scenic spots all over this small town with the beaches that offer breathtaking view of sunrise and sunset and the traditional methods of fishing used by the local fishermen are some of the other aspects for which Puri has always attracted the attention of the people.

Hi Luca,
The colours here are delightful - you have caught the waning sun's light on these people perfectly to create a very special atmosphere. The distribution and movement of the figures are well shown. An evenly balanced, creative image. TFS. Best wishes, Vicky

hi Luca,excellent light, I love the atmosphere it creates in the photo, and i love how people are seemingly scattered without any pattern, but this somehow makes a kind of organized composition. great one!

Buongiorno, Luca. The light in this photo is really great. I also like how the water line divides your image into two parts and the way the people occupy the space in the picture.

Hi Luca,
Nice picture of these silhouettes in gold, showing for all that one is busy with himself and his thoughts when walking along the beach.
Thanks and regards, Gerrit

More great lighting affects from you, Luca--this has fantastic atmosphere, and as jinja said, you kept the frame very well balanced and filled. I like that there is no solid horizon line, this "omission" adds to the sense of mixed mystery and serenity offered by the foreground figures.
Nice work!

Ciao Luca!
Extraordinary scene here captured in golden near-monochrome. Perfect timing, perfect light.
I am a Canon photog (20D) but I never cease to be amazed by the quality of Nikon D70 pics.
Great stuff!
