°Having a shave in line Photo

Photographer’s Note

Har Ki Pauri Ghat is rather a busy place, you can discover so much different lively scenes ... here the barbers gathered together in line to give their customers a shave.

Holi stole my colors :(
Enjoy

PS
I didn't like the original colors at all, it was the first time that my zoom had let me down on colors ... tweakening made it worse, so I decided to go for a much more easier B&W tritone.

Smart photo. Fine situation. B&W works here very well, I presume.
Regards and Happy Easter.

hello henk,
this is very good. Intersting street scene with a good POV. I like your colour conversion to B & W tritone (how is that achieved?)
regards
Bev

This is ritual of Hindus the son shaves his head after immersing the ashes of his mother or father in Ganga jee. It is matter of pain that’s why their expressions are bit depressive. Nice capture and it is appropriate to post it in black and white.

Hi Henk,

I do like the composition of the line. But you have been dodging, burning and blurring a bit too randomly and too obviously for my liking. But I do like the compo!

Greetings,
Dennis

Henk,
Your choice of B&W is so different.
here you have used to convey the feeling the scene denotes & that works well.
Thanks,
Prem.
