A totally different take than usual angles we have seen, you have focussed more on the fire here. Good Work.

Daniel ! Photo sensational! Nice effect, great color.
February 18, 2010 at 4:30 pm
The dark background gives the whole room to the splendid flame, it is perfect and the movement is so strong in that diagonale in fire !
February 18, 2010 at 5:59 pm
pretty powerful capture!
February 18, 2010 at 6:42 pm
Lovely low light shot!

February 18, 2010 at 6:48 pm
amazing shot, i didn’t know people still worshiped weird ‘gods’ in this day and age… very educational…
February 18, 2010 at 6:58 pm
A great shot!
The low light makes the photo!
You have matched the contrast very well.
February 18, 2010 at 7:27 pm
Da! Beautiful snap! I have always wanted to visit Hridwar. Lucky guy! There was a beautiful documentary of the ganges in Discovery travel and living. Beautiful take macha!

great use of the light of the fire
February 18, 2010 at 8:24 pm
Super shot man. The fire and it’s light on the man’s face looks wonderful. Great great shot. I wish I had so many replies I like you
February 18, 2010 at 8:48 pm
Fantastic…
February 18, 2010 at 9:09 pm
such a unique capture, full of action and depth. I imagine one really needs to know what they are doing with this sort of prayer.
February 18, 2010 at 9:23 pm
hi joshi, amazing picture, I like the great contrast, black background and fire always a nice mixture
February 18, 2010 at 10:00 pm
Terrific! The fire is so well captured and the priest’s averted face underlines the impression of heat and power.
February 18, 2010 at 10:14 pm
Looks like a dangerous shot! What have you been photographing these days? Hope your well. Take care.

Beautiful! You got the right exposure wich is not really easy…
February 19, 2010 at 6:36 am
I am running out of words to describe these shots
February 19, 2010 at 7:00 am
I am really amazed how you have managed lighting in this shot… too much is going on here usually. Not really easy to have such balanced composition. But you have really managed this brilliantly.
February 19, 2010 at 8:23 am
Impressive shot, the shape of the fire is fascinating, looks like a dragon. Excellent exposure and ambiance.
February 19, 2010 at 8:52 am
Fabulous shot.

A warm atmosphere in this excellent capture, well done!
February 19, 2010 at 9:59 am
Exquisitely Beautiful and I love knowing and hearing about the context of the action. The priest seems to be truly directing the energy of the moment towards a soon to be manifested outcome.
February 19, 2010 at 11:28 am
terrific capture! the light from that fire, the composition, it is all really terrific
February 19, 2010 at 4:28 pm
lovely shot buddy..love the fire shot
February 19, 2010 at 5:50 pm
Nice action shot…looks quiet dangerous !
February 19, 2010 at 7:57 pm
cool image..wow..that fire flame came out gorgous! And I like the warm tones / light on him!
February 19, 2010 at 11:43 pm
you have managed just perfectly…great tactic to keep it focussed.
btw, why it has to be this big ?
February 20, 2010 at 2:05 am
