Mona Baba., a photo from West Bengal, East

Photographer's Note

I took this snap in Gangasagar Fair...Ganga Sagar is almost the south end of West Bengal. Where the river Ganga meets Bay of Bengal, various Islands are created . One such Island, which is the largest and sacred most is called Sagar Dweep or popularly known as Ganaga Sagar.Ganga Sagar is 115 Km. from Kolkata..

Hi Prasun, I like the composition and the colours.
The focus seems to be a little off , the black sheet looks sharper than the man himself, but otherwise looks good to me,

Ce saddhu semble soigner son look, en particulier au niveau de la coiffure particulièrement recherchée -)Des conditions de lumière difficiles mais qui ne t'ont pas empêché d'en obtenir une bonne photo.
Amicalement

Hello Prasun,
a very attractive and interesting photo with great natural colours. Everything about this man is extraordinary and one can spend a lot of time observing him, his posture, face, hair, jewellery, the interest doesn't exhaust. The objects around him are curious too. Lighting is superb, very well balanced and effective. Well done and thank you!
All the best, have a great weekend,
Ourania

Although I am not sure whether the composition could be improved, the subject is fascinating with lots of details to catch the eye, the light is good and you have maintained the natural colours.

Hello Prasun,whilst the image is a little soft due to the low exposure settings there is so much of interest in the man that it really doesn`t detract from the whole picture.Well done.
Best wishes Les

Hi Prasun
I am fascinated by this wandering holy man who leave behind all material on his path to God and becoming a Sadhu is a difficult lifestyle itself. This is excellent portrait friendly, warming and wise man with bags of character. Excellent light, and colors.
Nicely captured.
Kind regards
