Photographer’s Note

A snap from Daman and Diu, off the Gujarati coast. These old Portuguese enclaves are filled with colorfully painted plaster homes.

Hi Caleb,

Very beautiful scene, quite made up, with superb colors, and the whole very quite exposed.
A great impression of serenity.

Congratulation, very great shot

Can't make my mind up! Should you have got a closer shot or just left it like this. I would have said a closer shot BUT those colours, bold and simple great composition leave it as it is.

hi caleb,
snap? all right but what a snap - the pose, the face and the grimase as if "i know everything about life, boy!", and the stick, as if a special tool to show the uneven dorection to the future...
quite symbolic!

I would have preferred it if you had toned down the brightness a little, but other than that this is an excellent character study of this lady.
I like her pose and the way she is holding her stick, but most of all it's her direct gaze and confident expression that holds the attention.
The blue wall works well as a background, although I find the red a bit distracting and would maybe have avoided including that area in the frame.
This is a good bit of work though, well done.

Cheers,
Ben

Hi CAleb
Wonderful colours and compo; a bit of noise in the picture and that is a pity. And that is the problem of TE also.....
Thanks for sharing
greetings Albrecht

Hi Caleb,
The colours are super, and make for a great background to this interesting lady. I like her stern expression that you have captured and her stick.
Regards
Wanda

Hello, Caleb--
This one is very intense, but colors are tremendous, and once more you've generated a great contrast between the primary subject matter and the background, keeping the figure in neutrals, although incredibly saturated neutrals. Very nice work. Thanks!

This is one of those on ur face compo with the subject so central. Yet this has to be favorite of mine for the strong contrast it evokes.

bonjour Caleb
magnifique image, l'expression du personnage à une froce incroyabe.
En plus il y a un jeu de couleurs vivent et une composition étudiée avec ce baton qui permet d'avoir une image moins statique.
Superbe.
