Searching

A beautiful shot with very nice colours, Amal!

This is one of those photos which makes me wonder about all that is going on there. What is being said? And perhaps more importantly, is there something to see that is hidden? The expressions, lines of gaze, all point towards the center of the action. This ability of the photo to raise questions and arouse curiosity makes the shot successful.

The colours add to the photo; as you know I prefer b/w but I think this would not have been so enjoyable without the colours.

A minor comment would go towards the slight slant to the right; this is something I have been guilty of very often. I often do it because I do not think about it at that time. But whenever I do, I find that keeping a level head (pun unintended) helps a lot.

Buen documento y magnificos colores. Saludos

Very original atmosphere and a superbly captured street sense.

My friend, you have managed a superb light and composition here along with very fine details and colors, the people gathering give this image a remarkable interest and life.

Thank you for sharing it and wishing you all of the best.

Gallego, Muchas Gracias. Un cordial saludo,A.K.

Rashed, thank you very much for your appreciation. Best wishes.

Bobby, many thanks for your feedback and querries.They were a group of pilgrims,gathered in front of the famous Jagannath Temple at Puri. I am not sure,what they were going.Since they were huddled together, I presumed that they were searching for something or  might be performing religious rites.

Aviar, thank you very much for your feedback.

Andrea, I appreciate your comment very much. Thank you very much,indeed.

Mehmet, thank you very much for your appreciation.

The colors of the saris are stunning, like a tray of jewels.  There's a wonderful sense of community depicted, which is rarely seen here (in the US).

Excellent colourfull documentary work Amal,great mystery what they are looking at,very nice work,regards,Harry

Beautiful colors and capture, I like it.

Beautiful and very expressive your composition. Best regards, Linh Dinh

AS,

needs a  bit drama,USP is 'local' flavour ,still not upto your mark.distracting white umbrellas,5/5...regards,

The documentary approach suits the caption. It has elicited a lot of enquires in the minds of the viewers.The street side ambience has been very well captured and presented.Since the locale is 'Puri' one of the holiest of Hindu pilgrimages I wonder if the search is of material or spritual nature.

I don't know what they are looking at, but it is a very nice human circle. Even though the women are seen from the back ,their saris are animating the whole. Very nice presentation of a local community in mundane  life, with some sort of a special interest...;-)) Well observed , I like as well  the BG but especially human  circle.

Jeff, thank you very much for your feedback.

Harry, many thanks for your appreciation.

Alberto, thank you very much for your feedback.

Linh, myriad thanks for your appreciation.

Amitava, thank you for your observation.

Amrit, I also thought so:-) Thank you very much.

Pnina, I am glad that you liked this street-shot. There is nothing special about this image, except the ethnic touch, which you have appreciated. Thank you very much.

A.K.,

  Wonderful street shot with beautiful colors & lighting.  Take care, Patsy

Hi AK-da! Lovely picture with a mysterious content and an apt title. Could the mystery have been heightened in a monochromatic rendition? best wishes - Sekhar

Very nice street shot. An attractive composition of colors and expressions. Regards.

Patsy, thank you very much for your appreciation.

Sekhar, many thanks for your visit, feedback and suggestion. I am uploading a desaturated version for your consideration.

Sumon, myriad thanks for your support and feedback.

What a dazzling assortment of colors in the clothes of the ladies gathered round.  Red, saffron, lime green and the star of the show, the cobalt blue sari which cuts through the composition like a knife. The black and white version is good but the story here is color!

Very nice street shot, it's full of life, warm regards!

the eye of a master, to catch this colorful and curious, though by no means exceptional, gathering... in our country we gather easily
