A nice image with these Celebration of Ganesha where the atmosphere we see the flame and light make this image wonderful.

Bonjour Frederic,
a beautiful tight frame, where an evocative image is rendered with great depth, excellent sharpness and lighting, marvellous and intriguing patterns and colours. I love the position of the steady hand next to the vivid twisting flame. The magnificent colours in my opinion evoke and match superbly the aromas mentioned in your note. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely day,
Ourania

Must be better to keep flames in hand rather than an i-phone or nintendo :P
I can almost smell the gasoline (or incense, camphor and jasmine). When are you going to India?
