I had promised all of you that I would slowly start to put up pictures of Allahabad and Benares. This one is a bit stylised, but I thought it fits.
Fakirs walking by the sacred rivers of India have been a phenomenon we have witnessed for centuries. They shall endure as long as the rivers endure. And the rivers shall endure as long as we treat them well.
The picture was taken at the shores of the Yamuna in Allahabad, close to where the Yamuna meets the Ganga at the holy Sangam

What an amazing photograph. I love the way you have used contrast to accentuate the fakir .
Thank you. I have three versions of the fakir. One is the straight colour one, that i like. One is a black & white pinhole camera simulation, and this. I used a high key effect. I thought it accentuated the fakir, and yet gave it a dreamy effect. Thanks again.
A great shot Rajiv ..
Thanks very much!
