“Excellent! So magnificent. You have captured the daily life of those women and made an art out of this. I loved the moments captured and imagined how life goes on for women in Goa. Beautiful.” – Bhavana Chandrashekar (bhavanakavadimatti@gmail.com)
All are lovely portraits
depicting quintessential Goa.
Sajo-bab: Good to hear from you.
Rajan , when i looked at the faces of our women, villagers and urban dwellers i saw the reflection of our goenkarpon : smiling through adversity , working untiredly , resignation to their sad plight . Most lovable portraits
Dear Mrs Almeida – thank you for your thoughts.
beautiful and emotional portrayals thank you…
Thanks, Sarmila.
Candid photography that captures the soul of our land in these women, in this Part 2, just as it did in Part 1. Many Thanks, Rajan-bab
Thank you, Antonio-bab.
I marvel at how you processed the colors in the present and former sets of photos. The greens are lush, the yellows rich, and the blues deep; all without a hint of oversaturation or unwanted hue artifacts. Of course, it goes without saying that your portraiture is first in class. These ladies are undoubtedly proud to grace your blog. Well done, Rajan.
Thank you, Bob. I did touch the Saturation or Vibrance slider in any of these images. The lenses had rendered rich colours to begin with.
