This is one angle which we would like to see, which included all the elements into one masterpiece. The action, the offerings, the peoples, the atmosphere and finally the lights.bo

Very nice image. All the motion and dynamic is very well caught, not only because of the people movement but also because of the smoke. Nice colors and details too.

Hi Eric,

You sure caught the "combustive" atmosphere of such events very well. Energy is plapable as people congragate ever closer to each other. The idea of offereings is woinderfully present thru the arms brandishing the plated gifts, and I wonder if maybe you could have raised the angle of your shot, to avoid a few necks and one cut face, and instead get the standing crowd behind the smoke screen.
Of course, that could have meant, shooting from above and your camera becoming an offering as well... :-)))

Hi Eric,
I love this shot of yours. You have captured the perfect mood and there is excellent tonal varieties. While there are some very strong colours, the grey due to the smoke is very restful for the eyes. There is a good focal point too. Very well done!! Thanks for dropping by and regards.

nice busy image, well composed , good work

You are right there in the thick of it. This is as close as you could get to the reason of this scene;the offering. I believe, all of us with camera, has a story to tell. But the best story of all, is when the photo of a particular subject or scene, says it all. Like your work here eric.That makes the photo, the best representation of the scene. Captured and frozen in time. Maybe we can't go back in time, but we sure can freeze a moment of it.
Regards
Rabani

Hi Eric
Definitely a very good photo as you have managed to capture this enchanting atmosphere so very well.
my only suggestion would be that I would have liked to see even greater contrast in this photo with the areas having somoke even more brighter

Hi Eric - this is really fascinating, the backlighting works great, and the mix of colours and incense smoke enhance the festive mood, a very strong cultural shot, and very well done.

Hello Eric,

Very interesting atmosphere picture: I wish I was there with you during this ceremony. You managed to catch a great angle and render the light grabbing smoke all around, and the expression on faces of people during the ceremony. Good for you . Izzet Keribar

Hi Eric,
I always admire this shot of yours and with 120pts, I think you are pretty 'tired' of receiving critiques for this picture. So I'm not going to say anything more than Well Done!
Regards, Jino
