Kripa Bhatia,
The festive photos quite mystical. The colors are bewitching and attractive. Extremly beautiful compositions.
You may try breaking or zooming into these colors in your next attempt.
But I found the portraits a bit clichéd.
All The Best!!

Absolutly stunning!
April 22nd, 2009 at 2:19 pm
I grew up in the 70s in the drab suburbs of London, grey streets, grey skies, grey people. Then when I was 7 my mum took me to visit her family in Bombay - a magical 6 weeks of my life running around the vibrant, mad streets of Bombay with my cousins and friends.
One day, Holi hit us without me fully understanding what it was about. It was Christmas at Will Wonkas chocolate factory mixed with Disney World and Santa Claus, insane, beautiful and joyous all at the same time.
These photos take me back there. Thank you.

“…India’s cultural diversity yet, being one big celebrating nation.”
Unless you’re in a lower caste.
April 22nd, 2009 at 3:33 pm
awesome colours - looks like a lot of fun too! I love how in the one of the people sitting in the desert one of the ladies is crocheting! How prosaic!
April 22nd, 2009 at 3:46 pm

April 23rd, 2009 at 8:09 am
Dang! this is awesome. The thing I like most about this series is that this is not a special gathering of artists, but simply ordinary people celebrating color! Nice work. ~~~ yours in Chaos, Scarlett
April 23rd, 2009 at 8:23 am
Very original, a delight to look at. I never saw these colors while I was in India, it takes an artist like this one to bring them out.
April 23rd, 2009 at 9:21 am
1/5/10 are disgusting…

Which camera…?
April 24th, 2009 at 1:02 am
I hope that nobody gets angry but with such lovely images I felt that I had to make a powerpoint, just one of those you receive by email.
Of course I mentioned that the images came from this page.
I’ve put no music so as not no make the powerpoint even bigger.
If anybody wants it it’s at http://www.filespawn.com/file/2353/festival-del-color-zip.html
The title and the words are in Spanish but anyone can change them in English.
April 24th, 2009 at 1:24 am
Wow! This was beautiful, I just signed up and as soon as I logged in the first thing I noticed were your colors. They were awesome because I love the beauty of colors and all they have to offer to the world. Many times, I wonder why people are fighting in some of the worlds most beautiful places. One place I can think of where there was war in such a beautiful place was Greece. I don’t know much about India but you certainly opened my eyes to such a beautiful place.
April 24th, 2009 at 2:20 am

Brilliant Vibrant Passionate and Violently Beautiful Truth
April 25th, 2009 at 12:33 pm
Face studies are very expressive. Holi is photoshopped and I don’t think holi needs any photoshop or color tweeking. It’s a riot of color in itself
April 25th, 2009 at 1:40 pm
Beautiful!

May 19th, 2009 at 12:44 am
Some of the frames are very good
but one striking feature among all the pics is too much upped saturation - the same transforms ordinary photographs into accolade-winning entries.
May 20th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
beautiful pics…..very well shot…!!!
June 7th, 2009 at 1:53 am
Incredible, very inspiring!!
