Photographer’s Note
This is another photo of people celebrating the festival of Colours - Holi, at Barasana in Mathura. It is celebrated in that village for a week Coloured powder is found all around in the air, which makes taking photographs while avoiding camera from dust and water, very difficult.

What a frenetic atmosphere! Your composition reinforce the sensation of excitement and the merry bath of colors. This kind of popular fever is unthinkable in my country (France). Sometimes I would like the citizens to be able of such a funny madness.
It's just a pity the picture is so small.
Greetings,
