Photographer’s Note

A typical evening in benaras. the river gives such wonderful background of peacefulness and calm staticness to its daily life.

Welcome to TE and a great first post. Reminds me of Sohrab's work http://www.trekearth.com/gallery/photo204465.htm. Which is no bad thing at all.

very flat but a timeless classic in composition. a border of wide black would have made it look perfect.

Hi Bishan, and welcome on TE !

A really nice picture, from it's composition and tones. I'm a bit surprised by the guy on the foreground... Before opening your picture, I thought he was looking away to the ship. I think it would habe been better :o)

Interesting anyway, well done !
Youssef.

If you keep doing your stuff like this gem...you have the bright future among us.

PS: If I may suggest something...Either crop-out or clone-out the upper part of your image (the shoreline).
I believe that would create the very special, pure-fect
clean image without any extra un-neccesary details

Welcome to TE,Bishan

going back to your first post! This is pure joy and pleasure for the eyes once again:-) This forefront character seems the focus point in this shot and He roots the shot from that very point while the eye wander through the frame till the top and the opposite bank. Unlike Polonaise, i think the top of the frame adds something to the overall balance of the photo!

Cheers

Eric ( I am so glad i discovered your portfolio! Wow!)

I wish I was there and could see it my self. But thank you that I can see it with your eyes.
Seeing your pictures was the first highlight for me on this site after many weeks.
Best wishes, Nino.
