Anshuman, no doubt that without the steamer, the picture could have been better. Its surely an distracting evement in the frame. But as you mentioned, I did not have any option. These boats are ghat police boats to maintain the law and order for the immersion acitvity. I could not tell them to move out :)
However, if the boat was not there, there woud have been another challenge to fill the empty space. I wanted to keep the colorful clouds in the frame. So I needed the space in right side. In absence of the steamer in that place, the picture would look unbalanced. But I agree to the fact that the every object - the steamer looks foreign here and dimishes the mood of the photograph.
Good shot Aurobindo...like the pastel shades of sunset. Am in two minds regarding the boat...maybe it would have been better without? But apnar korar tow kichhu nei! Good work! Regards
