Excellent POV for this portrait, my friend but I don't like the colours and the noise but these came (I think)from the scanning of the old photo.

thanks and have a great day,

Hi Pranab,
Seems like we have Animal Day... I just commented on Gazza's camel!
This one is more peaceful and familiar...
Interesting capture, where you go quite close to bring us a fine portrait!
Good colours, maybe a tad soft but scans are difficult to control...
Greetings,

Hi Pranab,
Holy Cow = An exclamation of surprise.
It always surprises me that we can see that the photo is analogue and scanned.
This one is a little red and magenta. In the cork shop of ´ vlad vh´ we see how good the photo actual is. The PoV is good. Like the story you give us and like to learn a bit more.
I looked it up as well and found this:


In Hinduism, the cow is considered sacred and its protection is a recurrent theme in which she is symbolic of abundance, of the sanctity of all life and of the earth that gives much while asking nothing in return. Most Hindus respect the cow as a matriarchal figure for her gentle qualities and providing nurturing milk and its products for a largely vegetarian diet

India is a country I want to visit one day. People say that things are changing very fast there and it may be that soon some traditions will be lost.
It's nice to see your holy cow here Pranab. Thanks for the note that splains the fact of the holy cows in India.
Regards.

Hi Pranab
Nice close up of Gawo Mata. You are losing a lil bit sharpness her. Rest is fine.

Hi Pranab!
Your photographical and verbal story of the Holy Cows is very interesting. I find your scan very good - do you scan by yourself or in a photo-pavillion?
Regards!

I love holy cows! I love all th elife on the streets in India. I feel like I live all alone in America, streets are empty of pedestrians, and animals, only cars, few flowers here, little life outside.
