Grenades, a photo from Rajasthan, West

Photographer's Note

Mont Abu, indubitablement l'un des plus beaux temples Jaïns de toute l'Inde, avec ceux de Palitana au Gujarat et Ranakpur au Rajasthan
Par ailleurs une station de montagne très fréquentée par les habitants de l'état voisin, le Gujarat, qui viennent y chercher un peu de fraîcheur pendant les grosses chaleurs de l'été
En Septembre, on n'en est bien loin et c'est plutôt la pluie et le brouillard de mousson qui règnent sur l'endroit
Heureusement, pour nous redonner le sourire, elle était là, son parapluie à portée de main, pour nous vendre ces grains rouges de grenade réconfortants

Mount Abu, undoubtedly one of most beautiful and worldwide famous Jain temples of whole India, with those of Ranakpur in Rajasthan and Palitana in Gujarat
Also a mountain resort extremely appreciated and crowded by Rajasthanis and Gujaratis, coming from the neighboring state to look for some coolness during the very hot summer season
In september, we are far from it and it is rather monsoon rain and fog which prevails
Fortunately, to make us smile, she was there, her umbrella at hand, to sell us these comforting red grains of pomegranates

Bonjour
Une superbe photo de cette jeune femme au visage souriant, et venue comme tu le dis malgré ce temps de pluie vendre ces grains de grenade
Les couleurs rose et bleu de ses vêtements se marient bien
Certes c'est un mode de vie comme par exemple de la voir accroupie sur ce muret.
Belle présentation
Juliette

Hi Patrick
very sweet looking woman. Funny to see the umbrella though :)
A few things which caught my eye are the bangels, the bright colors and the decorations on her sandles :)
Lots of visually interesting elements.
Fun and cultural, did you chat with her?
Nice shot
cheers

Hello Patrick,
In spite of the not so good weather and the perhaps not so good business she keeps her spirit up and gives you a nice smile. As every other Indian woman she has dressed perfectly for a colour photo. The green background makes a great contrast to her red and blue clothes and the pomegrenade seeds.
Kind regards,
Gert

Salut Patrick,
Bien cadré cette vue, joli portrait et bel effet avec ces teintes du bleu qui s'harmonise avec les tons rosé rouge des habits et des graines.

Bonsoir Patrick

Très beau portrait de cette vendeuse. J'aime beaucoup les couleurs contrastantes de ses vêtements. Par contre, je ne suis pas sûr que je me baignerais dans ce cours d'eau. Bien fait.

Hi Patrick
The colors, props, placement, pose and her sweet smile are all contributing factors uplifting this street people photography, and your keen observation never fail to inspire us. What a cute shot and the essence of local life, and those additional stuff add such a nice touch overall apart from a beautiful face, her shining eyes really make my day. An excellent tribute to this hard working woman. Great contribution to TE. Well done
Best regards

Hi Patrick
a delightful study this, so rich in colours and atmosphere. Love the way you have composed and captured this, with every little detail being so sharp and elegantly beautiful. Superb!

Bonjour Patrick,
Nice portrait of Rajasthani lady selling pomegranates. Like her nervous smile and her bright pink sari. Inclusion of the bright red pomegranates seeds is a good idea. Thanks for sharing a good DL shot.
Regards,
Subho

SnapRJW (31631) 2014-02-14 2:45

This is another good shot Patrick. A well framed and captured DL shot where the details and colours add to the story of the woman. Nice to see the pomegranates have been ready prepared, they are such a pain to eat when whole. Warm regards rosemary

Hi Patrick,

What a super capture of this colourful scene of this young lady selling her pomegranate seeds to passers by.
Great tight crop, love the colours against the green water. Well managed and presented.
Wonderful.

Cheers, Iain.

Salut Patrick
Outstanding work! What I like the most about this image is the vibrant contrasting colours: green, blue and magenta. Tight crop works really well.
Have a nice weekend
