~ feeding time ~, a photo from Rajasthan, West

Photographer's Note

That's a flurry of activity and feeding frenzy probably the closest intimate interaction and affection between them. Feeding pigeons is a common activity here every morning and nothing out of ordinary portraying a glimpse into the tradition in their day to day life. The cow - a sacred animal just hanging around, as they tend to do in towns and villages roaming freely across the country.

Just a simple daily life shot at Ganghur ghat, Lake Pichola, Udaipur. In the background is Taj Lake Palace sitting perfectly in the middle of the lake with Aravalli Range makes a perfect backdrop.

Setting: 80 mm, 1/125 sec, F11, ISO Raw 200, 0721 hrs & GND filter

I like the contrast between the man and the animals and the sunlight highlighting the buildings. A very pleasing shot.

Hello abmdsudi,

Excellent silhouette photo, where characters though play a central role doesn't distract our sight from the beautiful building in the bg.

Best Wishes,
Gy.

Hello Abmdsudi,

An early morning scene, where the interplay of light is very important to the impression created by the photograph. The f/g silhouetted images, still retain the mood of night, and are very well exhibited against the b/g, where the early morning light is waking the scene and causing the buildings to glow in the sunshine.

My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Abmdsudi, an excellent scene with the man, the cow and most of the pigeons in silhouette.
Then as we look past them we see the Palace partially bathed in sunshine.
The man's pose adds to the narrative.
And a bonus of reflections on the water.
Lovely.
Kind regards, Jean.

HI Abmdsudi,
Fantastic view with so much to see. Palace in the middle of the water is huge and there's no open ground around it at all. Cow , the man and birds make fine foreground and as silhouettes they have good contrast with the palace.

Hello Abmdsudi,
An amazing photo with a great contrast between the foreground and the backdrop with the calm lake, the palace and the hills, which bathe in a beautiful, warm sunlight. The silhouettes of the man, pigeons and cow are very well included in the foreground and captured with very good sharpness.

Bonjour, cher Abmdsudi,
Une composition de la vie quotidienne qui semble normale pour lautochtone mais moins pour le visiteur.
La mise en image męle habilement ombre et lumičre.
Un sujet toujours fort bien exploité.
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hello Abmdsudi,
This photo is spectacularly beautiful, the view of the lake with the palace in the middle of it is ideal, the backlit figures of the cow, the man and the doves are beautiful.
Very nice coloring, which together with the good quality and optimal lighting, gives great quality to the image.
Well done. I like very much
You have a good day.
Very best regards
Luis.
