An extraordinary composition, Evren! Sure, some will argue about the bleached wall behind the man, but what an interesting effect that produces! Reminds me of the blinding light of an Antonioni film set in North Africa, though the resemblance is only superficial...this is typical India, the hot, dry, blinding light and deep color, tacky to the eye, yet strangely evocative.

[48oC in the shadows!! This is going to beat Death Valley soon]

Bonjour,
Belle composition ! La maîtrise de la lumière n'était pas du tout évidente avec ces contrastes mais les parties grillées n'enlèvent rien à la qualité de l'image dans son ensemble.

Fantastic shot, Evren with colrs that SING right from the thumbnail stage, especially this kind of turquoise ligt in the upper part which shines like a jewl in the night. Complex compo, multi level, quite brilliant. I no longer understand the rating system here my friend, becuae, uh...this is superb, period.
It would be a FAV if I had any FAVs left to give...
Best,
-E

Hi Evren! Very impressive picture! It is rich in colors. I like the different levels of fields containing people in different positions. So many details. It is a night picture and, however, the guy at the bottom seems to be illuminated by daylight. Great imaginary... Very good work!
