Cleaning the Stupa, a photo from Bagmati, Central

Photographer's Note

The Stupa cleaners work with no safety ropes,just their excellent sense of balance, scrubbing ancient dirt off.

Great and colorful shot, gloria. A great addition to my wall climbing theme, and a very special one. What do the colors mean?

Great action shot. I love the angle and the colors. Very well-captured. I like that you've left the ladder in, but I wonder whether you might want to crop all or some of the concrete(?) base on the bottom.

Image de fęte ŕ en voir les banderoles qui donnent de bonnes perspectives a l'image.
Le ciel chargé donne l'effet contraire plus dans le dramatique.
Un bon mélange bien vu Gloria

A very awe-inspiring scene, taken from an awe-inspiring angle, Gloria. The colors, as ever so often, are great, and the ropes going off into whichever direction are adding a great sense of perspective to the scene. Great shot; I think Mimi's cropping suggestion is a good one to consider.

I also have a theme going into which I'd like to add this one, it's the "Vertigo" theme.

The angle of the shot and the colours are excellent. I like the way the little flags radiate out from the top. Well framed, Gloria.

A dramatic angle, i like how the flags leave the shot and the contrast you've choosen makes it look very dirty, they have a lot of work ahead of them! Well taken.

Brilliant colors here Gloria. And a very action oriented theme. The angle you chose is nice. Though I am not sure why you decided to retain the ladder etc at the bottom of the picture. Also I can see a lot of artifacts in the sky..
But inspite of that, this is an exciting picture.
