Une belle lumière avec ces bougies.
This picture is really really awesome!
Stunning…I especially love the way the lights make the rangoli shine on !!
I love the way the faces of the subjects are lit up with the light of the ‘diyas’. Superb!
I love pictures lit by natural diya lights without interference by electrical ones. This one is beautiful, very earthy, as if even rangoli has light of its own!
