Photographer’s Note

Taking a bath at the pilgrim beach, in Rameswaram is something every hindu would like to do.
Rameswaram is the southern Varanasi, and many pilgrims bring back some sea water to home; some of them mix it with Ganga water.

another bathing girl with thr sari can be seen here:

Hi Joel,

Nice title. I like your composition in this image, excellent choice of aperature (f/10) allowing the background to be in focus. Well Done

Very interesting image, Joel. Nice composition, I like how the 3 people are placed above the the bather like a crown. Cool, its not just salty water, it's soapy as well ;) Is that other girl swimming in a sari? interesting! Well done.
Cheers!

Hello, Joel--
Nice work on this one. i agree about the three distant figures almost forming a crown, it's certainly a nice touch. The composition is interesting witht he wave holding the foreground and the figures and boats holding the background.
Thanks!

La tu frappes tres fort, Joel. Une belle composition, ancree par la "mere" a droite, mais cela nous permet de regarder les trois qui flottent au loin ainsi que les deux bateaux, au loisir...
Bon dimanche,
Francis

Je passais par chez Henk, puis une petite visite à l'endroit dans le lien, et je m'arrête sur celle ci pour voir qu'il y a du beau monde qui photographie par là :-)).
J'aime bien cette composition, simple, pour une vie simple dans la nature.
Le rendu est juste, le cadrage bien fait. Une bonne photo.

Joel,
A nice one here...
The lady offersa contrastingg view to the standard sea POV...
She balances the shot neatly..Though a bit harsh on the sea, that is trivial.
Cheers,
Prem.
