Varanasi from the Ganges Photo

Photographer’s Note

If you are in Varanasi, then at some point, you will most probaby end up taking a tour of the harbour by an oarsman. And it's a very busy place indeed!

Good evening Steve,
It's a little clutter and colored: it is the image of this country.
Best regards

Hi Steve,
Varanasi, one of my favourite places on earth, and here you have captured the mood of the busy river well. You seem to have had a wonderful clear day as sometimes I find that it can be a bit hazy. What I love here is the matching colurs of red and orange throughout the composition from the boats in the foreground (including their orangey reflections) to the buildings in the background. I also like how the two boats form a "v" shape. A nice image taking me back there. I have looked at you other shot too of the waterfront and I like it with the perspective of the boats going down the river.
Regards
Wanda

Steve: no time like the old days - I was looking for the Alka Hotel here - stopped in there a couple of times - great tableau. c

This is very beautiful, Steve. It looks like a city from Europe. Very nice light, and good warm colors. Well done. Sothy
