Khuri III Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Another one from colorful Khuri. It was great to spend Christmas eve in the desert.

Khuri Village is approximately 40kms from Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. The village is surrounded by sand-dunes, and has a few basic home-stays.

Begin the walk from Khuri village. Walk along the small mud-houses, seeing life in the village. Along the untarred road, you can see men squatting in front of the house chattering, children playing, a few camel being tended by their owners and cows lazing, while the women work in the house. Talk to the villagers - they are friendly and open - and get to know more about their lives.

Hello Benjamin. A subtle and skillfully realized photo. Everything works peacefully and easily. The text pleases me well. Alltogether very beautifully. Best regards, Wolfgang.

HI Benjamin, I like your composition a lot although, I think the shadows are a bit harsh and the depth of field to deep.
Waiting for a little while longer could have also created a warmer look from a lower sun.
Thanks

Matt

hi ben,
love his lifted toes ;o)
as a matter of fact i like both their relaxed attitudes, just chilling (depending on how hot it was, of course) in the
evening sun (making long shadows for the photog's joy)
be well!
