Paromita,
With my little knowledge on photography, I feel it is a very good take, a picture postcard resemblace. The 'palash' flowers have actually heightened the ambience. Only the green leafs to the right(r they artificial?)is a little mismatch in a otherwise natural shot. Anyway, real good shot.

Hello Paromita

How long do they keep the colors before they bathe?

Beautiful shot.

Hello Paromita,

Fine portrait which is an explosionof colour at the same time. I like the warm smile (even in the eyes) here and the great balance of light. Almost extraterrestrially exotic and really beautiful. Good work.

It's like a colourful painting !

I might go for more sharpness especially on the eyes, but that's really an appealing work with a nice, sweet smiley expression on her face.

TFS.

Very nice photo, great colors and the fact that lady is 'soufully' delighted. It has come out very nice.

Hello! Very beautiful portrait and so well composed. You captured something special in her eyes and her smile. The title is so perfect because it seems we get a glimpse into her soul through your lens.

Another one ...
Another feast of colours ...
Another interesting photograph in your gallery.
However in the case I would crop a bit of the top of the photo ...

Mirek

Hi Paromita!

Even though the capture is not that sharp and clear enough, i liked here the innocent smile of the lady covered in bright and fancy colors. I bet this image would've been striking if the resolution was clear and crisp. Nonetheless, a great catch on this one! Nice post!

best regards,
Matt
