Drying Saris, a photo from Rajasthan, West

Photographer's Note

Women drying their sari after taking a dip at the holy Pushkar Lake. Taking a dip at the Pushkar Lake is supposed to wash all your sins and supposed to be very holy. People flock here during the full moon of "kartik" month of the hindu calendar to take the holy dip.

Dear Ashit,
A good one from Pushkar.
A very popular shot in any holy place of India. Be it Hardwar or Venares. Interesting in your photo are the colors of clothings of the women which are typically North Indian Red, Yellow and Blue.

India seems to be a country where colour is present everywhere. A very nice scene. Colours are wonderful under the sun.

A great scene, that ends up as a great compo. real cool, Ashit, wonderful eye, maybe it seems a bit unsaturated by the exposure chosen, and also, a tad distant for a subject where composition is, IMO,as important as candidness.
