colors, a photo from Bagmati, Central

Photographer's Note

Un peu de couleurs pour égayer ces journées grises et pluvieuses qui semblent ne plus vouloir en finir.
Ces poudres colorés sont en vente à proximité des temples , ici à Pashupatinath. On peut s’en mettre sur la peau et sur le front, ou s’en servir pour la fête des couleurs appelée « holy » où elles sont jetées sur les gens dans les rues.

A few colors to cheer up these grey and rainy days which seem not to want to finishany more.
These powders colored are for sale near temples, here in Pashupatinath. We can put it ourselves on the skin and on the forehead, or use it for the feast of the colors named “holy” where they are thrown on people in streets.

Hello Pascale,
The Nepalese trader provided you with the colours and the scales but you arranged them to a fine composition. Eye-catching is not a word strong enough to describe this photo.
Kind regards,
Gert

Bonjour, chère Pascale,
Pour réaliser le beau, le peintre emploie la gamme des couleurs, le musicien celle des sons, le cuisinier celle des saveurs, et il est très remarquable qu'il existe sept couleurs, sept sons, sept saveurs.
Très belle mise en image qui met du baume au coeur avec ce temps pluvieux et trop gris !
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Pascale - I like this colour block shot very much, it seems to sum up the vibrant colours of India perfectly. An excellent and unusual image, we see plenty of spice shots but I think this is the first pigment shot I have seen. Fascinating work. Warm regards Rosemnary

Dear Goswami,
Colours force you to capture them as they speak their langauge of passion, attraction,energy and warmth. Its requires widom to balance the emotions with devotion......the colurs are not only holy but sacred.
TFS a beautiful story.

Bonsoir Pascale

Superbes couleurs vives, avec des lignes horizontales et verticales qui cloisonnent l'espace, et la balance en silhouette au point fort qui vient compléter le tout.
ça nous change de la grisaille de ces derniers jours!
félicitations!
CLODO

Hi Pascale
a striking thumbnail and just as striking full size. A wonderful mixture of powerful colours and lines that are attractive and so irresistable. Cropped and executed perfectly. Tantalising imagery!

Enjoy your Sunday - regards Brian.

Hi Pascale
Stunning extremely strong colors of graphical value shot and almost 2D feel, lovely crop that grabs attention I am sure miles away! So well detailed lines, shapes and texture. inclusion of weight balance add reference and scale proportion. The longer I see it the more I sneeze! Good observation and well taken. Congrats
Best regards

Jeppo (17623) 2012-04-29 5:00

ciao pascale,

j'adore cette image graphique et très colouré.
j'aime bien la présence de la balance pour capturer l'oeil et "casser" le graphisme...
ciao

Hello Pascale,
Wow - what superb colours. The close crop and black frame gives an almost abstract picture with excellent visual impact. I like the inclusion of the scales.
Imaginative photographic work.

willperrett (2959) 2012-05-02 14:06

Hello Pascale
Missed this first time around, though how do you miss an image like this? Your title becomes almost inevitable and really says everything about this photograph. Except the composition, which is careful, knowing and pretty much perfect: those scales!! I'm jealous.
Regards
Will

Hi
this is an example of superb composition of such a simple street scene that most of people wouldn't notice that such a wonderful picture can come from there. Really a great shot with great idea with richness of colors. Great shot.
have a great day,
