Glamour, a photo from Southern Islands, Central

Photographer's Note

I happened across a wedding at the Indian Temple here in Singapore this past weekend (near Chinatown).
I was quite taken back watching different aspects of their customs, completely foreign to me. I snapped off a bunch of photos, thanks to the acceptance of the wedding party.

Cropped, levels, and a touch of gaussian blur.

Very well seen and very well captured! The gold of her ornaments is a beautiful contrast against the blue of her sari. The Indian weddings can be really complex and elaborate in their customs and practises. Beautiful work Dan!

wow.. great detail! Still very much in the spirit of TE because of the colours and jewelry. Nice and sharp. Good idea!!

Beautiful colors and composition!

I especially like that kind of photography, framing tightly a good detail. It says much about the observing eye of the photographer.
I liked that in BobTrips' Bride's Hands and i like it here on this very attractive image...

Well observed & executed Dan!

Nice colours, interesting composition. Good focus. My only suggestion is maybe moving your angle over to the right a bit so you can get some of the curvature of the hip.

Cheers Dan!

Nice detail + good composition + nice colors = Great photo. 5*

kaychambers (1198) 2004-08-23 21:05

Technically, your composition is faultless. With the (cheap) screen provided me at work, it seems the jewellery is a tad overexposed. Burning this within PS would enhance the overall result, I think.

Keep up the good work Daniel. Look forward to your next offering.

Regards,

Vic, Singapore.

Hi Dan, great colours, tight crop, great photo! I really like the composition. It's a bit soft, but somehow it suits this shot well. Thanks, Don.

Great photo, my only complaint, is that im left wanting to see the rest of her :)

saurabh (104) 2004-09-25 6:50

so alluring...great eye u have! captured the beauty and the curves so well. the tight composition is gr8.

rabani (9645) 2004-09-27 22:04

It makes you think doesn't it Dan. There are just so many ways to express beauty and feminity. A little color here, throw in some sparkles, hint a little flesh and this potpourri becomes an eye candy.

jbweasle (9393) 2004-10-20 20:28

A beautiful picture. I love Indian clothes as they tease just enough with the exposed midriff. The tones of the cloth, the jewelery and the skin complement each other well. Obviously the lady has a good eye for colours just as much as the photographer has!

Enia (365) 2004-11-07 12:06

This is a very beautifully composed image. The blue sari and the golden jewellery are very eye catching. Very well seen.

Luan (12971) 2005-03-04 3:48

Great and sensual image! Fine and delicated! Regards.

jrzufferey (7305) 2005-04-09 4:03

Magnifique Dan, une forme très esthétique d'érotisme photographique. La sensualité qui ce dégage de ce corps avec les couleurs et les bijoux rend l'image très attirante. Amicalement/jr

gazo (116) 2005-04-09 7:38

Nice picture whit great colors. Sensuality too.

Vanek (74) 2005-05-11 13:30

Blue and yellow (turquoise and gold) is one the most classical color combinations and very nice for an eye. I like this picture!
