India Reflection 7, a photo from Uttar Pradesh, North

Photographer's Note

Ganges River
Varanasi (Uttar Pradesh)

Before and during sunrise, Indians, monks, tourists from all over the world rent a boat to admire colors, ambience, and scenes at this magic hour in this impressive place
These people was admiring the effect of the first rays of sun on the Ghats and building overlooking the river

Photo taken with a digital Olympus, so a good souvenir and bad quality

Hello Maria,an interesting observation of an activity that I was completely unaware of.
I can really feel the calm atmosphere of the early morning.
Regards Jean.

Ciao Maria
la foto è forse di scarsa qualità, ma l'atmosfera è affascinante e mistica.
Saluti

Hola, María!

Veo que despertaste bien temprano en Varanasi, lo que es muy bueno para tomar fotos con una luz más suave excelente! Tus fotos de la India me dan cada día más ganas de visitar ese país! Lindo trabajo!

Hi Ola dear Maria

Morning slight fog makes this image so dramatic and moody. Three boats have very good proportion at all.

All the best and have a good day! Takero

salut Maria,
Une image paisible avec ces eaux calmes et les reflets de ces barques, belle luminosité tamisée.

Hola Maria,
Tourists on the left-side boat were looking at you, while the people on the middle boat saw some other attraction far on right direction.
A morning golden glow provided a nice backdrop to the river scene.
Buen dias.
Ike

Hello Maria,
I really have to enlarge this photo very much to see any problems of quality, and even then the problems are quite unimportant. The composition is fine and the mild colors are wonderful. I like the yellow shirts worn by some of the people, and especially that one of them is standing up. I also like that there are several boats filling the frame so well, and at different distances.
Kind regards,
Gert

Dear Maria,

Colours are soft and very good. I like the tourist are busy in the boats in the Ganges at Banaras, the Holy city. Nice panoramic view.

Hola Maria querida,
a lovely and interesting scene, four boats, the closer ones in the middle, people looking around with interest but no external reference for us, except the atmospheric warm light and the silky surface of the river. You achieved superb sharpness and fine reflections, the very mild orange/grey tones are very pleasing. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great day,
Ourania

adramad (62382) 2015-09-23 9:05

Hola Maria.
Una composicion deliciosa, sobre todo por esa luz tan dulce, y esa tonalidad color pastel que da una gran suavidad al entorno, en el cual destacan las barcas que con la gente a bordo que ponen un bonito toque vital.
Magnífico color, nitidez y perspectiva.
Que tengas un buen dia.
Saludos cordiales.
Luis.

Hello Maria,
Great river view with the four boats, both close by and farther away on the calm water. The soft colours of the sky are fantastic. The people's clothing adds some nice extra colours.

Hola Maria,
This is an attractive view of the boats on the Ganges. The early morning sun has contributed lovely hues in the air and on the river.

Hello Maria,

Congratulations on a spectacular photo, somber, but exuding sober serenity. That structure looming above the boat on the right is a little distracting, but the boats, their colorfully dressed passengers, the mirrorlike water, and perhaps very high humidity all help to create a mystical atmosphere.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Olá Maria,
um local que tenho muita contade de conhecer, tanto a Índia como o Ganges. Aqui gostei da composição e dos tons suaves, só a qualidade que não ficou muito boa...
Parabéns e Abraço,
Lucas

Hola Maria,
so simple yet quite impressive. The colors all around are amazing. I assume you were in one of such boats. You managed to capture the extraordinary ambience here.
very well done,
