About
A follow up to the picture I uploaded yesterday. A picture I took at the junction of the river Ganges and the river Yamuna, two sacred rivers in India, in Allahabad. Every 12 years a big festival occurs here, the Khumba mela, the next one will be in 2010. Santa Devi Draejagh is a 84 years old woman. She was praying at the river.
Magnificent portrait. Love the light flirting with her face. Great detail in her skin, even in the shadow. you've captured the pride and seriouness of her life in her face. Greal job.
