single photos Hindu pilgrim and urn on banks of the Ganges.

what do you think of composition?

I like the contrast of the orange robe and blue water. The composition gives this image a sense of isolation and reverance. But I wish I could see the whole person.

This is an interesting frame for this shot. The position of the pilgrim is dramatic -- they've *just* stepped into the frame and this adds immediacy and a dynamic element to the overall photo. The composition also emphasises the boundary between land and water (similar to the boundary between life and death?) and the reflections on the urn draw attention to this transition.

 

So thematically there is a *lot* of good stuff going on. I wonder, however, if a wider-angle (perhaps cropped down top and bottom) wouldn't have captured this as well and without losing the vast majority of the pilgrim? The urn would still draw my attention to the boundary first, but as an equally interesting element I would have more of the pilgrim to admire...

 

HTH,
