Ganges Worship Photo

Photographer’s Note

Une part importante de la purification rituelle dans l’Hindouisme consiste en un bain du corps entier, en particulier dans les rivières considérées comme saintes, telles qu’ici le Gange à Bénarès

An important part of ritual purification in Hinduism is the bathing of the entire body, particularly in rivers considered holy such as here, the Ganges in Varanasi

An interesting scene very well taken (I like the falling drops !)
The light is also very good.

Hello Patrick,

beautiful photo full of atmosphere, I like how you have captured the movement with drops of water...but what really caught me here are the colours tones, so soft, so spring-like...well done!

Take care, Ivana

Hi Patrick,
a wonderful backlight, and the reflections of the water seem to be like thoughts, flying away...
Compliments, Christian

This is a masterpiece.

The uniformity of colour against neutral wavy river and falling droplets. I don't have words to explain the beauty of this shot.

Hi Patrick!
I had to leave a note on this one also....because its such a great shot! The texture of the water alone is really fascinating. And the candid angle really works great here! Not as colorful as today’s of course....but full of emotion! The timing is spot on also! Great work, regards,
Steve

P: it's a pleasing image - perhaps all the more so since your 'actor' is anonymous for the viewer. best, c

Hi Patrick!
You captured a great and intimate moment with this woman touching the holy river.I like a lot her pose ,the contrast with the river and the light shining through her dress.
Regards,Leo

Bonjour Patrick
Nice...very nice! The white BG of the water is ideal for her green saree and bangles. The best part to me are the frozen water droplets & the texture on the water, thanks to your high shutter speed. Mysterious as well, since we do not get a glimpse of her face. Good work!
Best Regards
Angshu

Bonjour Patrick
belle composition, mais ce que je retiens surtout sont les gouttes d'eau que tu as figé grace à une grande vitesse et qui forment un arc.

Salut Patrick,c'est une photo vraiment extraordinaire,il y a toute ta classe dans ce travail,une qualite' fantastique de details et couleurs et la position de la lumiere a faire la difference.2 points ne sont pas suffisant,mes plus gros compliments!!! Luciano

bonsoir Patrick,
it's an evocative image and one of chromatic harmony, with the green tones of her clothes repeated in the colour of the water and in her bangles. I like the fact that we can't see her face but can only guess her features, thanks to the backlight filtering through the fabric.
my compliments!

You've caught a wonderful private moment. Colour harmony is beautiful. Backlight makes image glow. I like the transparent cloth. Composition is impeccable as always. I would add a dark keyline around photo to separate the white mat from the image. In some places the photo blends into the mat.

Hi Patrick, beautiful picture with this amazing Ganga river as background and its infinit number of incredible scenes. The yelowish waters match the clothes of the woman, and you´ve got a good gesture here... well done! chau chau,

Maria
