sleeping man & scooter Photo

Photographer’s Note

this picture was taken in pushkar, a small town in rajasthan with a holy lake. This scene stood out to me because of all the textures and colors, especially the colors on the man sleeping. i really can't tell you anything about the man. i think he pulled his scooter over and decided to take a nap.

Good photo Jenny; but what is the story of the sleeping man? Is he homeless?

Lots of nice textures and colors here, Jenny, and the image tells an interesting story. Your framing is just right, including just enough to tell that story. (It might be preferable not to cut off the bottom of the scooter, though.) I suppose a higher POV, to separate the man visually from the scooter, would be even better, but it probably wasn't available to you unless you happened to have a ladder along in your camera bag. Great shot anyway! Regards, Ken.

Very colorful, good composition. It might also have been interesting to find a POV giving more importance to the man and less to the scooter.
Cheers,

Wooow, excellent catch, a very nice street life scene, I recognize here the fantastic colors of India.
Well seen
