Thank u Dr, thanks for ur appreciation, but unfortunately, this year I shifted to one remote village of Kerala(the southern most state of India) where my husband is doing farming for last 3 years. So no idea of my future photo tour   Posted: 03/11/2025 06:25:30

Interesting image. The lit buildings in the background are unusual, also the fan. Most pictures from this ceremony are with fire. Composition is very good and balanced.   Posted: 03/08/2025 14:45:03

Vinaya, I agree with Tom that this is an interesting image. You obtained the effect you were looking for with almost everything is sharp, except the feathers fan. Nice colors.   Posted: 03/10/2025 20:04:46
