Excellent composition, Stephen. I like how the empty boat in the foreground leads one's eye into the picture. I also like the flower shape of the converging boats. A sharp image from an interesting and exotic part of the world! Regards,
Ryno

Nice historical photograph of a scene I am sure is repeated today. The composition is great but you might think about cropping the bottom up to the hand to see how you like it.

Great Job.
Aloha, JB

Stephen,
The framing is the one which makes the kill in this shot!...
The way you have used the othherwise chaotic boats is wonderful...
So much details!..
Great stuff.

Hi, you have plenty of interesting photos of India, I just discovered them ! This one attracted me for its lovely colours and also the subject, it reminds me of my days there, so long ago... If you don't object, I'll add this to my theme...
(probably a scanned photo, isn't it ? there are some traces in the sky, but this doesn't disturb me...)
Bravo,
Cath.
