John, when I saw your black background in Shot #2 I thought that if taken at a better angle on the right the black could have engulped the whole shot of the woman just showing her skin and whatever it is that she is holding. I kinda like the grab shot too -- especially the guy and woman's expressions on their faces. He looks like he really loves her and that they are sharing a little joke. Anyway, Indian women have colourful dresses. In many ways, they fought hard to keep their culture alive.
Hi Izzie,
It was under difficult shooting conditions, if I stood to the right the subjects were heavily backlit, from the front of the stage too many heads in the way. And just when I was getting comfortable with the shooting conditions a big thunderstorm blew in. Thanks for commenting.
Interesting series John and given the BG in the colour images, you did well. The mono image is one of those compositions that invite you to explore. Is that a rat sharing that gents ice cream?!
The last one is the best one yet. I very much like the treatment.
Are you sure about the rat? Who's hand is it. Both of his and her hands are visible. I can even see a long tail. Perhaps I had better see a therapist.
