Nice shot Rajeev. A wonderful burst of colours. My guess would be broken pieces of glass bangles.

hi Rajeev,
whatever it is (bracelets? or boxes of sweets piled dangerously high? or simply an artwork?), it looks great, I've always enjoyed strong repetitive patterns. but there's just enough randomness to make the photo interesting and fascinating to look at. very well seen and presented.

best,
Kristine

Hello Rajeev

A very eyecatching composition ! The thumbnail is colorful, mysterious and so attractive...
I can't say what it is, I really don't understand how to read this picture but I like it a lot.
Your framing and the way you've played with the curves are very effective and the graphic result is successful.

My compliments,
Karine

Scarves? They really create a wonderful pattern full of colour.

Hello Rajeev
My brain works in slow motion: in any case what I know is that it's a great colored photo and graphic.

This looks like a colorful pile of buckles. But even in a shop, why so many of them, i cannot answer. The tight crop is good.

Hi Rajeev,
nice idea, well composed and colorful POV. I like the curves of the piles, we can think there're going to fall.

hi rajeev,
i can only guess it is an eye stealing sight ;o), good in repetition and bright colors.
i might miss the dinner offer though because i have no idea on what it might be.
care to share? ... no? ok then, i'll wait!

Excellent, Rajeev! I like how you play with the volume of the bangles piles. Ooops, sorry I said it! The colors are beautiful, and the tight frame too. Congratulations,
Regards,
Marine

LamCam (3603) 2008-09-23 12:51

Hello Rajeev,
I think the clue may be in a previous post - a Nek Chand creation perhaps? The glowing colours and varied decorations on these half-hoops of glass look good, whatever they are!
Colourful and intriguing.
Best wishes....Maggie

Rajeev,
you really got us here. It seems to me that no one really wants to commit to an answer, despite the offer of an delicious dinner in Shimla. Maybe you should also have offered the airplane ticket to get there ;-)
What a weird and captivating view. The more or less repetitive format with the great variety in colors and the tilt of the pile is a fascinating shot.
OK, lets participate in the game. I go for rapper of chocolate, although I don't have a clue of what that would be.

Rajeev- I love it for the sheer b'uty of complexity and graphism. The composition is gr8 but I regret overexposure on some of the rings. Weill seen...

hispic (7399) 2008-09-25 2:33

Hi Rajeev,
Interesting subject. Captured colourful rings or something with excellent composition. These seem to be carefully piled up, is it right?
Fine shot!
Best wishes, Hisashi

Hi Rajeev,
I LOVE bracelets, and I'm sorry I did not buy enough during my short visit to your marvelous country. I like the POV with the piles in unstable equilibrium.
Well done, I agree that the lower right ones are a bit overexposed, but the result is goos the same.
Best regards
Marica

paura (37736) 2008-09-26 15:02

Hi Rajeev,

Of course I immediately cribbed to you next upload to see what is the answer of your puzzle.
At first side it looked like the coins in a casino, but these long piles should have fallen down.
I like this detail picture of this colourful coat of mail.

Hi Rajeev, I have looked & looked & my guess is 3 Rapper of Chocolate, if I'm right my prize can be this amount of chocolate, a lovely & thought provoking picture, kind regards Wilson.
