Maria,
I don't have much time, but I saw this image and I just really wanted to congratulate you for this amazing image. There is so much to the image, sense of loss in search of hope, I am very moved by this image. I like the composition of the three men facing different directions, all lost in their own world. Hoping to find some answers...
Thank so much for sharing this image.
Way

Maria es un muy buen registro de una cultura tan espiritual. En realidad me remueve el hecho de saber que como yo, todos miran en diferentes direcciones buscando una respuesta.
muchas gracias por compartir la fotografia.

Hello Maria,

A very nice image. I like the trio of bathers. The reflection is very fine indeed. Intersting view of life along the rivers in India/

Hi Maria, A very good daily life picture, the three men taking their morning dip & looking as though each are oblivious to the other, good sharp focus, beautifully photographed from a well chosen POV & the vertical framing is perfect, kind regards Wilson.

Hi Maria,
There are loads of photos from Varanasi depicting the mystic bathers, but each time, a different composition with different feelings can be created. Here, your close up to the trio, and their directions make the originality. The vertical format is the right choice for sure. TFS,
Deniz

Hola María, una imagen muy bien compuesta con los tres hombres perfectamente encuadrados, cada uno en una pose distinta, me gusta. Conseguiste un buen control de la luz y unos colores perfectos, felicidades.

Un abrazo desde España.

Hi Maria
A beautiful vertical frame and a fine depiction of the bathing people in the Ganga river. They're sa if it is a scene from a play with the actors playing. A really impressive shot

Interesting scene full of devotion. I like the gesture of the old man praying here as you carefully place him at the center. impressive shot full of emotion.

hi Maria

The light control gives a nice warm tone to this shot, and you have composed it very nicely with the 3 men in each characteristic pose that makes it so puzzling to the viewer. Really very good vertical and fine shot. I like it.

tfs, bill

Hi Maria,
Wonderfully thoughtful vertical composition seen in clear crisp colors and lovely sharp detail.
No one seems to be in a hurry in this beautiful shot.

This is one of your best photos so far. The composition is excellent with a great co-ordination of the thirds vertically and horizontally. The warm colours are superb too. Well done.

Hola Maria,
A very beautiful daily life-picture of Varanasi. As your title says, the different directions in which these men look add to the good composition of this picture.

Dear Maria,

How many times I was already at the same location? I don't know but when in Varanasi, I have to go the Ghats and look and take photographs. It's like a must. Nice colors in the early morning sun of this typical scene with great DOF, adequate sharpness and a peaceful atmosphere. Well done

Best regards
Urs
