Season for a change? Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is a photo I took at the magnificent Amber Fort, Rajastan, just 12 km outside Jaipur, the Pink city. A mother and her daughter were wandering around the walls, and at some point the housband and father shouted at them. The mother turned to look at him. Somehow, this scene, with the mother looking the other way and the daughter looking straight ahead, giving a slight push to her mother, looked to me like a "change of guard" or some kind of "relay race". Was it the right moment for the daughter to take the first "role"? Maybe yes, maybe no. Whatever happened, it happened with love, like the word written on the ancient wall.

Hola Hercules: De esta foto me gusta mucho el fondo sobre el que están las dos mujeres, es casi un cuadro abstracto en si mismo. Luego está el gesto de ambas mujeres, el de la más joven muy suave. Gracias, un abrazo.

Very beautiful picture. There is so much connivance between the two. You catched it so well. Also the costume of the mother is so beautiful with the wall behind. I love it. Thanks!

Ηρακλή πράγματι πολύ καλή φωτογραφία των δύο γυναικών και ειδικά μπροστά σε αυτόν τον τοίχο.

Hola Hercules.

Aix si la chicas te estuvieran mirando. Sería ya tremenda.

Por supuesto, los colores son buenísimos y el contraste con el fondo, genial.

Un saludo, Oscar

Καλησπέρα Ηρακλή

Αυτά τα πορτραίτα σου από την πολύχρωμη Ινδία είναι εξαιρετικά. Η εικόνα είναι πεντακάθαρη και με ζωηρά χρώματα. Εξαιρετική η αντίθεση των σκούρων τόνων του τοίχου με τα πολύχρωμα ρούχα. Εξαιρετικό και το καδράρισμα.

Hola amigo,

Lo mejor de esta imagen creo que son las poses de las dos mujeres, especialmente la de la derecha, sus sonrisas, los colores de sus ropas, la delicadeza que muestran, todo esto contrasta con la pared del fondo, ruda, oscura, en eso radica este interesante contraste, lo has bordado Hercules, felicidades.

Saludos

José

Hi Hercules,
you´ve captured very good contrast here, and i mean not only the "generation gap" but also contrast between the calm wall (actually not so calm, i can read word love there:) and perfect vibrant light-green colour of their dresses. Very very nice alltogether :)

Hi Hercules,
I like this picture, because it portrays varied contrast and everyone can add his own interpretation...
Nice colours and good composition.
Best regards,
Andrzej

Only the two women make a pair, since they look at different directions, they wear different type of dresses and they also have different expressions on their faces. Very good picture with nice pastel colours and a great central composition.

Hello Hercules, This is really well captured. The colours are great. The framing is also nice. A very nice note accompanying with the photo gives your look towards this capture. Very well done indeed.
Best regards

Hi Hercules,
Beautiful capture of the mother and daughter, I like how you have captured the shot against the old wall of the fort. Good expressions on their faces. Very lively photo.
Well done!
Thanks for sharing
Best regards

Kalimera Hercules.
Muchas veces este tipo de fotos aportan un valor que pocas pueden hacerlo: nos hablan de la gente que vive en otras partes del mundo.
Nos hablan también de es su día a día, de que sienten y qué piensan. En cierto modo es cierto aquello de que una imagen vale más que mil palabras.

Y ésta es una de estas ocasiones.

Un saludo.
