    This photo and this whole series are first class and world class photography. The colors are so beautifully balanced and not exploited as is often the case in these types of setting. There is as much attention given to the subject as there is to the captivating colors. I must say that my ambition is to go here one day to turn out pictures like this. My comment is for this photo but it applies to them all . A wonderful series indeed. Double congratulations.
    I wish you had given some information as to what camera you are using etc etc. Great job.

    Thank you James. The feedback is overwhelming and very much appreciated, I wasn't expecting that. India and its people deserve all the credit here, a glorious culture indeed. These images were taken with a Canon 5D and a 17-40mm lens, mostly open shade. Thanks again.

    Something commonly seen yet so superbly captured. Magic of the lenses and the credit to the photographer. Great colour combination. Have you come to North-east India, Adam? Wish you would do so sometimes, if you haven't. And do a photo essay on our part of India, the land of the seven sisters of Assam (old culture, great views), Arunachal (nature's paradise), Meghalaya (exotic land), Tripura (old civilization), Manipur (unique culture, great people), Nagaland (the people), and now Sikkim (the view). Congratulations and all the best!
