Lepakshi - Ladies waiting Photo

Photographer’s Note

This was the periphery of the Natyamandapa..The sunlight though filtered is quite good for photography. The columns here, as in the entire mandapa, are elaborate compositions.

I saw the ladies in the distant corner, which was dark. The white sari which one of the ladies was wearing presented a nice contrast...so I decided to take this shot

this is a good image angshu. i like the repetition of the columns which draw together and focus on the women in the middle.

just for fun, i've done a workshop for you. i liked the idea of desaturating the image, but keeping the ladies in colour to draw more attention towards them.

great shot. well done!

Hello Angshuma,
A very fine perspective, and I'm taken by the details carved in the walls and pillars!
Good side lighting brings life to the capture, where the women in the back add what you need of colours...
Pleasant and well balanced composition!

Hi Angshuman,
Yes, another great one! I'm not beeing tired at all of your series. As in the previous ones, there is a wonderful lighting, excellent sharpness, that show us in a clear image, the magnificent details of the sculpures pillars and the perspective is again, very well suceeded. The ladies are a good addition and the detail of the light on the white dress is indeed, very nice. Very good work my friend!

Again a very good sharpness on the stone sculpture details. Takne the three ladies makes a touch of color. Too bad for the plastic bottle though...

All the best,

Emmanuel

Okay Angshu,
this is my new favorite for its excellent framing; good detail on the pillars and keyhole view of the two ladies in beautiful saris.

Yet more superb detail and textures captured in this shot. Again, the lighting conditions are extremely difficult, but you've managed a very good exposure. I like the human element of this shot too.
Nice work and thanks for sharing.
