Indian lady Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

A picture taken at the flower market of Kolkata, I remember this lady had a really interesting face, this is the only picture I managed, to tripod, no flash, just a quick shot. But there was an additional person in the background, and when I noticed it I payed attention to include her in the composition.

Hi Izzet! really a strange face! and a strange way of wearing a tissue on the head.
A beautiful portrait! I like the diagonal composition - roght side of the picture is blurred and dark, focusing the eye to the person in the background.
Ciao!!

No one can match the colour of the Indian's clothing, so bright and vibrant. She has a great pose too, and an interesting expression, although I'm not sure what it means! The shape of the person in the background is a nice addition to this too. Well done!

Hi Izzet,
A very interesting portrait which is aided by her magnificent colourful dress. Your composition, clarity and lighting is very good. Overall a nice shot.
Cheers Grant

Izzet, that is a very interesting portrait. Perfect! The inclusion of that person in the back as a silhoutte adds a lot. It gives the additional element of telling a story. The face of the protagonist is intriguing. It looks like a lot of skepticism ... Why? Just the moment that you released the shutter? The depth of this photograpghy is extremely good. I love the sharpness in the fg and the blurred bg.

Cher Ami Izzet,
Si je comprends bien, mon ami, vous êtes toujours dans des sphères différentes. Je m'en réjouis, car vous nous rapportez de bien jolis cadeaux, ce portrait en est, un parfait exemple.
Très bien construit.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hi Izzet,
Another treasure of yours from Christmas week in Kolkata. Her colourful saree makes her stand out, the OOF background works very well.
With Greetings from India

Bonsoir Izzet
Beau portrait de cette femme dont j'aime bien la posture et l'attitude et la façon dont elle a mis un pan de son sari en coton sur sa tête. Les couleurs sont vives et c'était une bonne idée que d'avoir inclus la silhouette de la personne à l'arrière plan.
Amicalement
Marilyn

merhaba izzet,
if this is the only photo of this woman i think i'd say you should always make ONLY ONE photo...:-))
no question her face is most interesting and inspiring...quite a bit of history must have been recorded in her mind...i cant help feeling that she's thinking "hey, kid, if only you knew what i know..."
best wishes, j.

Merhaba
Bükreşeten bu sabah döndüm.Fproğramın yoğunluğu nedeniyle fotoğraf açısından pek iyi bir seyahat olmadı.Bilgisayarımı açtığımda da ilk baktığım fotoğraflarınız oldu. Muteşem renkler ve harika alan derinliğiyle birleşmiş hindistanlı kadının çarpıcı yüz ifadesiyle fotoğrafınız portre fotoğrafının en iyi örnekelerinden biri olmuş.Elinize sağlık...
SELAM VE SAYGILARIMLA.

Hello Izzet Bey,
I must say, I am more than impressed. Impressed at the beauty of the vivid colors, the clarity of the colors, the superb composition, the superb use of the background, and the scent of your magical touch, your professionalism. The use of light is wow,.... magical.
Best personal regards. Salvator.

İzzet bey selamlar,
Çok enteresan bir bakış. Süper bir portre. Milli giysinin renkleri, Hintli kadının duruşu çok ilginç.
Elinize sağlık.
İyi günler,
Emir Nedim

Merhaba Izzet.

Days a ago I saw this portrait. The first time that I opened this photo I thought that I was lucky because I had found a very nice and interesting portrait.
And that's true: this is a real winner.

The subject is very interesting and technically you did also a very good work... but I have a question... how did you shot at f/2.8 if the lens is 3.5-5./6?

Take care.
