Excuse the quality but this is a direct scan of a colour print. I now have negatives scanned directly onto a cd. Quality is much higher & there are no dust marks to worry about.

Seen here is the Hindu Sita Temple, in Janakpur, Nepal. It's mandatory to remove your shoes, before entering the temple. This custom is also the norm, in both Islam & Buddhism. Any leather belts also need to be removed. (The cow is a sacred animal in the Hindu religion.) Taken on an overcast cloudy day. So the light is nicely diffused, as a trade off, for the lack of a blue sky.

Hi Chris,

Hi Chris,
Regarding the circumstances of the photo and the scanning, quality is excusable here. :) It's a bit noisy, the sky is washed out, but the moment is perfectly captured, a true daily life scene from a very special place, we don't see photos from Nepal too often. TFS.
Greetings,
Kristof

hi Chris

I always find the colorful dress code of costumes to be attractive in a scene like this and you have composed it very well to show the crowd at entrance of temple. Even though I find the sky is dull and with a bit of OE, the saturation of the colors here really show good details of the way people go about in daily life. Good work.

tfs, bill

HI Chris
Looks like you are as good as I am at scanning which is not easy with old photos.
Its not perfect but you sure show us a scene that is colorful, showing us the customs of the people while still showing the surroundings.
Good job for the theme
