Photographer’s Note

.
.
"..her form with indifference see...".
.
.
Continuing at the Haji Ali..Mumbai........Legend has it.....

There is a divinity that surrounds this holy shrine spread across half over land and finally ending into the Arabian Sea...

There is a reason why one sees certain things and want to remember it for the rest of their lifetime....

It so happens we have a device dangling..we use it..but that is just a small fragment compared to what we go through..that is the shortest part of the journey but ironically the most significant....
.
.

Not always the pretty things make us stand up and "see"...
.
.
"Can you see".....
.
.
Final Destination.......to give you another example...
.
.
.
A long week continues....

Take care..

Hello Sayeed,
A well cropped picture with a strong and thought-provoking foreground.
I walked a long way through the heat of the city to visit the Haji Ali shrine, although of course I was no pilgrim. I was touched by the atmosphere among the humble visitors and astonished by the ingenious money-changers providing small change for alms.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello Sayeed. A striking photo in the style of classic black and white photography. The text is very informative and gives important explanations. Overall, a photo with class. Regards, wolfgang.

Hello Sayeed.
An image with a strong impact, an excellent black and white photo. The notes give an important explanation about the situation that we can see.
It's a splendid capture of a daily-life moment. Friendly regards,
Giorgio

hello Sayeed
A shocking photo of this woman(or man) sat on the tempered ground, among the other people who seem indifferent! The impact is very strong, raised by the treatment in black and white!The framing is excellent!
Regards
Pascale

Hello Sayeed,
Excellent daily life composition, very good contrast and B&W presentation, I think that a scene like this is the same in all religions.
Have a nice evening, Vasilis.

Hi Sayeed,
Excellent crop and choice of BW. The dynamic between the beggar and well-off passersby avoiding to look at her is photojournalism at its best.
cheers,
Cristian

Hello Sayeed,
A very thought provoking image. The vertical format and the close framing suit perfectly. The use of black and white accentuates the mood. Thanks for sharing.

Salam Sayeed,

The indifference...yes the dreaded feeling, or the lack of it. Dished out to so many of us everyday at so many levels. Beautiful emotive picture with perfect b&w rendition to go with the mood.

Thanks for sharing

Hi, Sayeed.
Excellent scene.
Like from a film.
But I am not crazy about your PP : this sepia wich does not cover all white parts is rather strange. I would prefer pur black and white or full sepia...
Best regards. Grazyna.

Good followup of the earlier shot Sayeed. The pink tones look better here. You used the long end of the zoom pretty well since none of the subjects are looking at you...a candid, I should say. The old lady in the Fg is of course the key to the shot and the compo...but you know that better. Well composed and taken shot bro
