thank you for feed back and noticing COLOR in my work. it is actually the color which impresse me more than anything. i yearn to make B&W and SEPIA and MONOTINES and tried very sincerely but somehow could never do it! me and my work is all about COLOR. wherever i see it, it just mesmerizes me! AFRICA in particular has a lot of COLOR, but there's always a sad story behind thin veneer of these glowing hues. i never fail to see a tired sadness peeping through it. this i notice in every face from Ethiopia to Congo [so far]. and this feeling makes COLORS OF AFRICA more lovable for me! i wish these people were not this much sad. i wish i could change something for them! regards!

thank you Roberto Chernitsky. we have a popular verse "Wajoud E Zan Se Hai Tasveer E Kainat Mein Rang" [presence of woman is the core of all beauty in the universe]. counting on this, i agree that women easily glorify any placid looking scene with their sheer presence in it. regards!

The colours make the people secondary - unless that is what they are meant to be. I also have a feeling that paint is not that bright. It is photoshop.

 

I think the people are interesting and wish they could be highlighted more by having supportive yet not overpowering props.

 

Colour is not a substitute for content and meaning as the great black and white people photos of years ago proved.

 

 

Cheers Peter

Superb composition and colours, Umair Bhai. "Our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thoughts" wrote Shelley.
