Hello Anamitra,
What a wonderful portrait you have done.
The beauty and the smile of the dancer on the right irradiate the whole picture. The second dancer's look at her friend brings another warm element.
A portrait we are pleased to contemplate.
Bravo.

Dear Anamitra...
the costumes and colours are great and vibrant and the smiles say it all...but the person on the right doesn't seem to join in the composition....he could have been accomodated more....a nice pic....

Anamitra,

Another colorful, engaging image!

The image could have a little more Pop! and you could consider cropping-out the person in the right hand part of the frame.

TE WS is not enabled for this image...
Please see:

...for an example of a different crop, plus, about 10% contrast move (for Pop!) using Curves adjustment layer in PS, keyed to the left cheek of the girl on the left, and, 1 px sharpening using High Pass filter over Soft Light blend mode layer.

Anamitra,

You too click great compositions. I like the framing & the color contrasts.
Waiting for more such stuff in days to come...

Hi Anamitra,
Well you choose effectively beautiful girls but what is attractive is the colours, because for european it not usefull. The smile of the girl is natural so the composition is good, it's a pity that the rigth person is cut.

Hello Anamitra,
Depicted softly two beautiful dancers with warm tone. The blur in the background is also very nice.
Have a nice day, Hisashi

Namoskar Anamitra,
kemon achen? hehehe
This photo is so full of colours and the look of the two girls is very particular,especially the girl in rose saree.
Ciao (bye) from Italy,
Antonio.

Hi Anamitra, the way you've captured this girl's beauty is impressive. Soft light, but great sharpness highlights her features and brings out the best of the colours surrounding her. Great timing, you've caught the moment here.
Regards,
Ryno

Hi Anamitra,

The point of view is putting the women at their advantage. The person in the center is the main focus of the portrait. The image is clear and sharp. The light brinmgs out the best of the colors. Have a nice day.

Hi Anamitra

Nice portrait with warm colors and a nice perspective and the posture of the two women is very nice and relaxed/natural.

I do however feel that the image is a little bit soft and a different crop with the exclusion of the hands might have been an idea.

Thanks for sharing
Kamran

Hi Anamitra,

Colorful, colors rich and fully saturated; smiling girls: everything to make this one one of your best picture.

Hi Anamitra,
je m'arrête sur cette image que je trouve très vivante...
Vivante par les couleurs qui sont éclatantes et pas fluorescentes comme on peu le voire sur des habits aussi vifs.
La douceur de ces portraits est exemplaire, avec des regards forts de la part des 2 personnes.
Vraiment bravo !
