cultures & festivals Boy at Thaipusum Festival

If you can still remember my Thaipusum pilgrim series, this young boy is also participating in the festival by carrying some elaborate framework on his shoulders. I guess he is still too young to participate in those skin-piercing rituals , but I believe that he will when he is older. Thanks for visit & feedback.

interesting Unique image ,well done !

I like the composition and the light very much, Cherlyn. Best regards. Eugenio.

Very nice capture, so sharp with lovely light and details:)

Lovely colours and great placement in frame. I can see that the boy does not look very happy with this on his shoulders. Great shot anyway..Regards

Wonderful capture. Very interesting commentary and beautifully composed. What gets me is that despite the evidence of his extraordinary culture, he has the same look on his face that my kids have given me many times, that says "What a stupid thing you are doing/saying/taking my picture." I love it.

Cherlyn, very good cropping,exposure and light.The boy is carrying 'kavadi' with leaves, which reminds me of the "moving grove" in Macbeth.

Great colourcomposition.Very good shot!

Cheers,Jim

Very good.

He does not look very happy with that "crown" of leaves Cherlyn, but again you have brought us a festival custom of far away cultures. well executed.

Well done image,with him semi-hidden behind the leaves.I just can't help to remember a similar capture,made by Kenrick Rampial,a dear friend from the other side of the world.

I admire your travels and the captures of real life you so kindly present to all of us.

Another life moment so well seen by you,regards,Radu.
