My, that is a lot of orange! I like this shot a lot. Even with all of the orange, the subjects still stand out well against the background. Well done!

Beautifully saffron colored, but a little bit dark since the subjects faces could be a little clearer. Over all I like it. To me it is nicely exotic. (I live in Florida, USA) Nice job and good luck! 7 Gracious

Go Big Orange! That woman peeking from behind is a little distracting and somehow the white balance or color adjustment seems a tad off. I'd also like to see more of the environment around here. Nice job though. 9 ~indigo997

fear of the Supernatural

Comment by sanandan:
This image is of Lord Krishna, sittig on the lap of lord Ganesha, and the image was taken when this 16 feet idol was being painted (for a religious ceremony).
Lord Krishna, is known for his mischiefs in his childhood and specailly "Raas Leela".
I have been brought up in a (Hindu) religious family. So my child-hood has been mostly influenced by the stories of Lord Krishna and his child hood. I never had the freedom to do a lot of things that I wanted to do and the fear of the Supernatural powers predominantly constrained my thoughts associated with freedom to do all!
This image of Lord Krishna (in his childhood) is a reflection of my dreams to have a childhood like his, as read in the religious stories.

My apologies to all for touching a subject that may not interest most of the list members here. Thanks a ton to Lisae for encouraging!

I've put this photo in my favourites. I guess I was the only one who gave it 10. That's so sad :(. Sanandan, you'll just have to take more photos that are understandable by the average American before you can get the kind of score you deserve... but then they wouldn't have the uniqueness I love... bah.
