Hello Aadiil Jamal,
This is an instantly enjoyable photograph, the range and variety of colour draws the viewer immediately in for a closer look. It certainly is better than the ordinary grey seating at many venues. The neutral white frame was a perfect way to enclose that flood of colour. Magnificent.

Fantastique photo - Je n'ai pas le temps de parcourir tous les commentaires qui ont été faits sur cette photo et peut-être que quelqu'un vous aura dit comme moi, que sur la vignette de cette photo, j'y avais vu des femmes habillées de façon très colorée, agenouillées côte à côte, lors d'une cérémonie dont je pensais découvrir l'occasion dans votre note, et oh, surprise, ce n'était que des chaises....Superbe !

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, one of my friends who I sent thousands of pictures to, as I traveled, said one day "India is about color"!!!!!! That is the truth, it brightens life in the most dismal of places. The plain desert blooms with the beauty of Indian women, houses decorated with art, camels with necklaces. I love the color, it is life!

Bonjour Aadiil,
voici une photo vraiment séduisante sur le plan des couleurs, variées, mais aussi sur des draps plissés ce qui augmente encore le nombre de nuances.
Un cadrage serré efficace qui ne s'encombre pas de ce qui entoure et focalise sur le sujet.
Excellent week-end.

Hi Aadiil!
I agree with what you say about the Indians loving colours! This set-up on seats is admirable. Looking very quickly, you could imagine rows of women in their saris bending with their backs turned. A very original, bright compo!

Salut Aadilj
Le caractère aléatoire et la personnalité ne sont pas des adjectifs pour définir le style de vos photos.
Ce n'est pas un hasard reconnaissance de Jean Bernard (REYNIER) est l'un de vos deux favoris.

Hi Aadiil:
Cool shot--I like all the colors. It looks like people standing in a crowd in a way. Nice work.

Hi Aadiil
Well what can I say. The colours say it all. We have a lot of people from India here in BC and I am always amazed at the lovely colours of their culture.
Well done
