offerings - Nasik Photo

Photographer’s Note

Pilgrims from Pune at the main ghat in Nasik.

I went to Nasik from Mumbai for 3 days to get some rest from that big city. I came back full of energy.

Super shot, Maciej, that looming shadow on the left curves so nicely, delineating the rest of the frame, the bright and colorful part in a kind of Yin/Yang pattern.
Great eye here, truly a lovely shot.
Best,
Francis

Hi Maciej,
Excellent POV. Very good use of the face of the person at the foreground.The cap at the head of the woman signified that India is going to Modernise(?).

Just beautiful!

The foreground shade is excellent, it is definitely a point of originality in the compo and yet a powerful one, relevant, puts us inside the "watching" of this woman.

And it is such a beautiful gesture she's making! Lovely colors, water reflections, ...

Great shot Maciej!

Hi Maciej,
Great capyure of the moment with excellent POV. Nasik is one of the holy cities of India & it has its own pace & charm.
TFS.

Hey Maciej!
I like the framing of the yellow dressed lady here, very effective and enhances the color of the garment and her pose. However, once I realized what was the framing object, I didn't like it so much - I felt it is too dominant and too blurred out. It's a nice concept to see this compressed composition getting a funny situation of him looking directly at her, but I feel he blocks the movement of the flower on the water...

Lovely take : the orangy red color of his cap is just the right element to recall the red of hers. I also appreciate the yellow sari/yellow flowers color matching.
Also the dark grey background helps a lot enhancing the color game. That's a very nice one, looks like your images this time are less complicated, more peaceful than the previous period. I wonder whether in your mind you've reached a climax and you don't need the showing off anymore, instead you take more time for atmosphere now.

btw I'm late, congrats for yor winning portfolio ;)..

A really really strong image, Maciej! I love the impact produced by the dark foreground man covering nearly half the frame in a diagonal and the strong saturated color of the woman and the crisp water. It is a rare kind of image. A favorite!

Hi MAciej,
Man that's close! I hope that your mirror wasn't too loud, otherwise his hear would be aching ;-)
I really like the compo (the POV as well as the colors). The details of how you've "constructed" this photo are interesting.
A really great shot!
