Good evening Elaine,
I like this photograph very much beacause it talks about so many things. The three heroes seem to create the bright side of their lives by themselves; the colours of their clothes (and their sharpness)make them stand out against the neautral background. They are a group and each of them a unique portarait. Great capture of the fleeting moment and a timeless culture; it's all in their eyes.
All the best
Ourania

Hi Elaine!
It's a very nice portrait! I like their pose and they seem so concentrated on your camera- there were probably not many western tourists around. Good colours and sharpness. The bricks make a nice background.

Dear Elaine
Good portrait of the trio. The guy on the left is holding a musical instrument called Ektara, with one string...a common instrument played by roaming musicians called 'Bauls'
Best Regards

Hi Elaine!
Another great one from the Sita Ram festival! Some lovely soft pastels of the sadhus with the off-pink turban setting everything off perfectly. A casual and natural feeling to this one. Well done as always, warm regards,
Steve

Hi Elaine
A good eye level shot of three relaxed wise musian men having a break and they look lwarm enough in eyecatching yellow garbs. Excellent eye contact, body language and expressions and the concentration on the faces makes this works so well. You have caught this just right, nice lighting and exposure. Rich in texture, colour and detail, in their environment perfectly, Well done
Berst regards
