Indian Bride

Nice capture of color.Interesting play of hands.I wish I could see if she felt as composed as her clothes.

Very exotic.Does this handpainting only for beauty or it have meaning?

Great colours and composition and good choice of plain black background.

Thanks to all for your comments. Sooner or later

I am going to upload some other images like this to tell the story of marriage ceremony in India. Thaks again.

This hand painting is build with 'Myrtle'. Applying of myrtle to hands and feet is an important part of marriage caremony in India. It is a symbol of 'good omen' in India culture. 'Myrtle' is called 'Manhdi' in Hindi language. It is used for beautifying too. Thanks for having interest in Indian culture through this image.

This is a fabulous picture!! I look forward to the other shots that you talk about. Wonderful!! By the way - the black background was a great choice ... it makes the viewer look at the beautiful woman and her hands.

Please critique.

Where is she now?How is she?

She is my younger sister. She live in my home town 'Mandi Town'. I love her very much.

Surya, lovely wedding portrait! Most exotic for us Westerners, thus very interesting. It has however a beauty that is universal in quality. Congratulations. You should upload more images from the wedding.
