Shaving at the Shore, a photo from Uttarakhand, North

Photographer's Note

SHAVING AT THE SHORES

The picture is taken at the shores of the great River Ganges. When there is a death in a family or any other purpose it is a tradition to shave at the shores of the River Ganges. You can see some people are following this tradition. You can see two barbers here who are shaving the people.

Apart from that a lot of activities are happening at the shore.

Regards,
Joginder

I love this, its closeness and more intimacy between the two performers with attractive bg interest and this also makes me cringe just looking at his head and the barber with the razor in action! it's more or less how I visualised this. An excellent candid depicting a vivid insight of everyday street life. Lovely shot, Congrats
Best wishes

Hello Joginder,
an interesting scene presenting a particular custom on the shore of Ganges. The gentleman getting a shave looks tired and sad, the barber is serious and probably understanding. The scene gets more impact due to the closeness of the point of view. The busy background is clear and rich in information, it contrasts the intimate scene in the foreground. Congratulations and thank you!
all the best, have a lovely day,
Ourania
