May 19th, 2008 at 6:18 amI like the DOF and the orange color that appears at instances. Very nice capture I must say. It evokes an effect of motion

May 19th, 2008 at 7:07 amSplendid facial expressions. The bald head in the lower right corner is a distraction. An image depicting tremendous atmosphere. The ash covered face as the only high value subject, placed at the thirds is working very well.

May 19th, 2008 at 9:07 amNice composition, unusual subject and I agree that the bald head is a little distracting but it fits with the crowded atmosphere of the picture and helps to tell the story.

May 19th, 2008 at 4:05 pmThere are many other bald men in the scene!
I find that more interesting than distracting.
I’m wondering the distinction between the bald men & those with hair !! -

May 19th, 2008 at 8:03 pmI can’t imagine (pre-bath) what walking through that crowd smells like. Must be the reason for the orange flowers.

May 19th, 2008 at 8:53 pmyea, i agree with Anurag, the bald-headed man in the botton righ-hand corner is a bit of a distraction to the photo composition, but other than that, excellent shot and very equisite atmosphere!

May 19th, 2008 at 11:33 pmI love shots like this. Right outside our daily experience - wish I had been there too. A photographers dream - being among that fabulous wash of people. Some handsome warriers too.

PS Perhaps you should have asked baldy to duck ;p

May 21st, 2008 at 5:06 amI was so taken with the regality and almost un-earthy beauty of the row of men in the forefront that I didn’t see the bald head. Its a beautifully composed picture. The photographer works interlligently with the light and I wonder if it’s the power and majesty of the men’s faces that gives the sense of ‘weird’ness and and scariness in one comment.
