 In the month of October each year, India has its largest celebration in the form of the Diwali festival. Diwali, also called the festival of lights, celebrates the triumph of good over evil. It is marked by the lighting of oil lamps and adorning of traditional Indian attire (centre), traditional looking electric lanterns, that are referred to in the local language as 'Aakash Kandil' (Extreme Left) and the lighting of fireworks by the masses (Extreme right). It also involves the gifting and exchange of traditional sweets (called mithai) amongst friends and loved ones. With my triptych, i have tried to portray the true spirit of Diwali. Happy Diwali to one and all. Cheers!

Nice to see a diwali image. The center shot is too yellowish and could have been better in sharpness. The gray lines in between could have been thinner in my opinion.

Very nice pictures and balance. Interesting progression in "size" of main objects in each pane left-to-right. Makes the lamp at left seem large. Very nice fireworks shot.

I feel you could have done with a bit more contrast in the right-hand image as it's a little bit dull compared to the other two. It tells a good story though.
