Hi Avis;

Another nice shot my friend.
In this shot I feel like you have captured more the tradional dress, then the lady wearing it. I like the detail you have captured- as I find most Indian garments are, very intricate & detailed.

Well done!
- Dan

very nice, but it seems like you'll have to be more careful while post processing. see near her head and her feet especially
take care :)

Wonderful capture Avishek, especially so with the dark background against which she rests. I did a workshop to bring out a bit of the detail of the arch behind her, for better or worse. I liked that detail, though it is not essential for this image, which is finely composed and executed. I'm not certain to what Sohrab refers in his comments, but perhaps you'll have a conversation with him so we can find out. Fine work once again.

love the portrait! you made it so well, with her beautiful dress appearing in full glory. was there that dark or you added the dark background in post-pro? how did you manage to take such a close picture without distracting her from her thoughts?

Avishek, this is an outstanding portrait, perfectly framed in a classical way, the only and best way as you could catch the whole person with all colors coming out from the shade, without shame I would say, this is work from a pro with a strong personal view and a personal approach appropiate to the subject, art photographie from a real photographer not distracted by clichιs you give a amazing masterpiece of Indian culture doing so right to your own country. Thanks.(to my Fav)
I bet that Sohrab has a TFT-screen.

I like this portrait Avishek, I like the colors, the posture of this old womand and the light. Very good.

hoo, great portrait Avishek, main features are for me the dynamics of her position, though she's apparently motionless, the leg of her sari draws like a wave in the picture and this matches very well her -tad dramatical- look away in the distance.

I would advise a different PP for your pic as I could see a softer light and more muted tones (slight desaturation) to enhance that kind of old world quality picture. A bit too sharp for me also, this image would accomodate with more softness.

Very very good horizontal format portrait. The angles were cut very cleanly and the colors are outstanding. This, certainly, is your BEST shot. I like it very much. A favorite!

excellent picture Avishek, very good composition and perspective - shooting from the level below her created a great effect, bravo.
and greetings from Delhi ;) i am leaving tomorrow, so tired ;)

Hello Avis

I like the difference you shot, between the eyes of the woman (angry ... no quiet at all)
and the position of her body (cool, young modern..)

very interesting picture about the contrasts...of life!
