puppet couple, a photo from Delhi, North

Photographer's Note

At Dilli Haat, New Delhi out of many colorful stuff there this puppet couple attracted me, The poor sellers there make these by their own and earn their livings by selling their hand made stuff. Ahhan.. we were allowed to move these puppets by our own and make them move as we wish.. its fun.. :)

good morning shad an ~

in earlier years i was not a big fan of the color orange, but now it pulls me in immediately ... sometimes i wonder why things like that change. we seem to be on the theme of color today (you with your thoughts on my 'yellow' photograph) and now this lovely piece of eye-candy...

what a barrage of colors! it's like a party in one photograph :)
i like that one puppet is in profile, while the other 'looks' at me with a sort of sad, bird-like expression. and i love the climbing line of colorful camels to the left. there is much going on here, but you keep it from overwhelming by keeping to the theme of orange.

after reading your note, i wonder about the poor people who labor to create such glamour, but do not live like that themselves. i guess that is often the story of life...

warm regards,
kristin

p.s. i like your watermark, how do you make that?

Hi Shadan,
Lovely colours and exceptional craftmanship. I like the pov you have chosen with one of the puppet in profile while the other is looking straight at you. You have selected a good DOF with great clarity and sharpness for the puppets. Nice shot!!! Best Regards.

Wow, what a nice artwork you captured here.

Beautiful colors, great composition and a lot of eye catching details. I like those lovely little camels at background hanging there. Charming picture.

I always feel a big respect for people who create artworks and put all their love in it. The joy of creation is valuable gift.

Thank you for sharing it.
