Great and Memorable Photograph
India, 1996
Photograph by Cary Wolinsky
Clad in shades of pink and white, celebrants of the Indian festival of Holi gather to watch a play in Vrindavan in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.
The play, performed throughout India during Holi, recounts the love story of Hindu god Krishna and the common cowherd Radha. For Hindus, the fable represents human longing for the divine.
(Photo shot on assignment for, but not published in, “The Quest for Color,” July 1999, National Geographic magazine)

Isn't this just a sensational pictorial and aerial view? Great photography. The atmosphere and significance is captured from a very special angle.

Great photo - except the guy looking up spoilt it a little - that`s just me! Love the angle and mish mash of colours.

I thought this photograph had so much to it, more than the eye could behold.
Next time, I'll tell that guy to look down, trouble is probably all the others would then look up to check me out.
That's life, and photography I suspect.

Yes, it's very special, isn't it?. I can well see why a picture is worth a thousand words.
