The second photo breathes life - I feel I'm there and I agree with Julie, it shows a brave photographer and a confident one. Beautiful work.

I've been reluctant to do that for years, despite urging by some really competent photographers.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223040482420514208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740227464249118134.post-21708898133233189892013-01-16T14:06:11.030-06:002013-01-16T14:06:11.030-06:00Thank you for participating in our first Festival ...Thank you for participating in our first Festival on City Daily Photo portal.<br /><br />I am finding the comments on many of the introspective posts as valuable as the post from the blogger concerned. This post of yours is a classic example of that.<br /><br />The differences between the two, to me, show a much more confident photographer who is willing to chance his arm and take risks, both compositionally, and technically with aperture and shutter speed. Personally, I am no keen on the light in the first image, and find the composition very conservative, whereas the second image is full of life, and full of story. It is a capture, whereas the Ganges comes across as staged.<br /><br />Many thanks for participating, Bob.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00647929951322724618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1740227464249118134.post-50630887730884953422013-01-15T06:32:25.955-06:002013-01-15T06:32:25.955-06:00Bob I love your top shot.

Especially as you see the photo on internet.
