Styling, a photo from Rajasthan, West

Photographer's Note

Long ago, there were a photographer around TE called Claude Renau. He was great, I learnt a lot from his photos, and he loved India specially, such a wonderful photos from there, probably the older photographers here remember him.
When I did this photos I thought on him. So I would like to dedicate it to him "Clodreno", where ever he is.

Take care and enjoy India.

Bonsoir Miguel
c'est un beau clin d'oeil à Claude et à ses photos. L'ambiance est superbe et le cadrage de cet homme dans le reste de la compo est bien vu. Bravo.

I like how you composed this photo with this yellow ... maybe a bit too much light but excellent result anyway.

Hola Miguel
Claude is alive & kicking in flickr...yes this is a picture he would be happy about for sure...a good tribute to him. That yellow (seems to be a part of a saree or a ghagra dress of a lady standing on the steps) makes the compo so very interesting. Your framing of the man doing the washing, with the yellow bit of dress is excellently thought of. Good work!
Regards
Angshu

Hola Miguel

The yellow of the cloth at right contrasts well, against the light blue skylight, reflected off the water, in this superb daily liFescene from India. Well composed,& tfs!

Hola Miguel,

Un bellísimo picado (¿se dice así?) Gracias al intenso amarillo de la vela, la figura del hombre se hace más pequeña y a la vez más grande, más interesante, enmarcada de esa manera. Muy pocos elementos, pero un ambiente absolutamente increíble. ¡Lo que hace un buen encuadre! Besos.

Una composición de maestro. Los colores, las luces,...la mirada del hombre. En esta foto exploras el arte de la composición, y sales de lo convencional...lo convencional lo puede hacer todo el mundo, sólo hay que disparar, es todo. En esta foto buscas algo más, y lo consigues.

Una de las mejores que he visto en TE durante este último tiempo. Y la verdad es que en esta serie de la India te sales de los caminos habituales.

Un abrazo,

javier
