Hello Elaine,
A wonderful shot very evocative of daily life in India. Well composed and with bags of interest. Very good tones and textures.

Ciao Elaine
bellissima imagine. La struttura sullo sfondo è bellissima, belle le linee degli archi con un bel gioco di luci e ombre. La composizione è arricchita dalle persone in primo piaco...molto ben fatto

Dear Elaine
TE seems to conspire against my critiques of your shots as as soon as I hit "Add", it disappears... now it's the second time and the other, as I can see, is lost in cyberspace.
When I looked at this thumbnail, I thought I would open a painting, some Biblical illustration, but no, this is real, and utterly beautiful. To bring all these pilgrims together into one small frame with such assurance and harmony, clarity and composition, is art itself. But that is not all; you lovingly detail the surrounding too, making the pots and pans shine, the smoke cover the woman approaching from the back... the more I look at this, the more I am filled with a genuine "woooow"
Amazing, accomplished -- art.
take care,
sasa

Hi Elaine,
Great composition! The details and sharpness are excellent, I love all the arches on the building. You've captured a wonderful atmosphere here of these pilgrims cooking their breakfast! Truly beautiful scene! Well captured and TFS
Cheers Tina :-)

It would've been a sin to miss this one, which I donno how I did. If I am ever able to take a picture which is even 10% as good as this one I will consider myself of some worth. there are no words to describe this one, the mood, the composition, the tones, the tenor. Its a pity that i only have two points to give here! Simply THE BEST image i have seen till now in the entire TL and TE.

delic (6735) 2007-03-14 18:54

Hello Elaine,
I'll join the chorus in that this photo has a painterly quality thanks to your outstanding composition. You did well with exposure in this high-contrast scene. Perhaps some fill-flash would bring light to the faces.
Best wishes,
Hakan

Staying in the ruins. eh? Ok, two things I absolutely have to say about this shot:
1. Superb compo, very much like a 19th century painting in the grand style. Biblical scene, pretty much. A very fine picture.
2. I'm all confused about India - do I go, do I not? I see your pictures and I think..."Sooner Elaine than me." (Sorry but...there it is). I look at Luko's recent shots and I think "Got to get on the next plane to India". Not that you are doing a disservice to the place. On the contrary I think your photos have a terrific documentary quality - it's just that with only 8 days off at a time, I'm thinking, very inistently "Boy, Hoi An does sound GOOD!"

Sorry for the grain of cheek. The rest is pretty much heartfelt.

Best,
Francis

Indeed, biblical...the thought that sprung to mind, even from the thumbnail. Its really quite a special photograph.

I am sorry I am not commenting very much on your latest pictures. To let you know though, I think you have hit new heights... I saw another picture in Sasa's unlimited favourites, which made me determined to come and spend some well deserved time here...

That man has xray vision...! It took me ages to find the dog, despite the pointer...

I saw this photo in the Home age of TE. What a wonderful capure of daily life in India. I love the details and colour tones.
Great job
Jorge

noborders (1010) 2007-07-18 13:55

Elaine, I had seen this photo on the 1st page of TE some days ago, put it in my theme to remember, and now I come back : this composition is really interesting, and taken in another of my favourite places with ruins (who knows ? yes, maybe we were at the same time in one of those places ?),
... anyway, the photo is great, I wonder how you took it as nobody seems to pay attention to you although it seems a sort of intimate courtyard, there is both a documentary interest and in the same time an great esthetical quality here,
congratulations !
Cath.

Hello Elaine,

The pic caught my eye. At first I thought it was a posterized picture but soon it turned out it was not. It looks like a picture from a book, as if it was CMYK-ed. A very fine, old-school, so to say, effect bringing to mind old albums. I enjoy watching it - yes, you can stare for a long time as the life passes by on this picture, yet you froze it for a moment. Wishes, Tom.

Agree with some of the earlier commenters - this looks very much like a 19th century Orientalist painting...testament to India's timelessness, I suppose. A beautiful scene and wonderful capture.
