Hello Umair,

 

You captured and highlighted the smoke in a very interesting way. And despite difficult light, the balance of light and contrast works well.

 

A lovely composition and a different motive.

And a very atmospheric image.

 

Well done.

 

All the best

Superb, a wonderful composition. The fine gesture with the hands is beautifully caught, as is also the mystic of the ceremony.

A very nice image with wonderful colors. I love how the back-lighting is coming at an angle to show the subject and the smoke. Good work!

A symbolic image of our aspiration for Light,Umair Bhai. The magical light in this image is dispelling darkness..

...excellent lighting, but the color coordination is superb - the highlighted smoke, the enamelled brass and the scarf work together so well! Thanks for sharing, RickDB

Great work! Woderful image.Bravo!

Best regards, Raoul

Dear Umair, at a first glance this is a very compelling photo. Content, composition, mood, all is perfect. However I feel that there is too much digital dust on the cloths and face of the man. I suggest keeping him darker to reduce the feeling of overdone digital photography or to transform the photo into black and white. Karl

dear Karl, you are right about digital dust. B&W was impressive and i'll upload in a few dats! best regards!

I mean really...A wonderful, wonderful picture.

Thank you!

Great work of light.

Bravo
