Flowers for God 4

Thanks for comment.

Wonderful and refreshing portrait. Thanks for sharing. B. rgds, Loic

Nice work, good light and composition and use of colors.

Well done - I think that it is very important in "travel photography" to include a selection of photos of local people, dressed in traditional clothing and going about their day to day lives. This allows one to capture the feel of a place in addition to the more common images of well known landmarks, etc. This particular image may well have been a posed image - not sure - but I like the fact that she is looking down at the flowers and not simply staring into the camera as may have been more typical for an environment type of portrait. Technical aspects (focus, exposure, composition) also handled well here. Thanks for posting.

You're right. Travel for me is meet people, as you can see in my portfolio. I cannot imagine go somewhere and come back whith "landmark" pictures. I'm not this kind of photographer who post here Taj Mahal or Tour Eiffel shot ! Even for Pushkar, Brahma temple, the only one in India, is not present on my collection. Picture of a nice temple is no more than another picture of this temple. We must try to give more. What I tried to do is to capture emotions, telling story pictures, life's daily wonders, magic lights, essence of Pushkar. I'm pretty sad that most of people look at my pictures whithout see the real work I did in ONE VILLAGE for TRHEE MONTH. That mins every time take time, as for this shot, before take pictures. Yes this girl is not posing because I spent two hours whith her on this flower field. After while people forget you and let you see at once, as said Francis Fernandes on one comment, the simplicity and the precious uniqueness and depth of the moment. Thank you so much for you coment, I'm so happy to see that this picture was so well "read". Best regards, Roger.
