Early Morning Chat in the Desert
































Makes me want to go and get a smoke. Lovely picture.
Classic shot. One can feel as if he is there.
great, light looks like artificial or treated.dil says ek kash de de yaar bahoot thand hai..great great!
Great composition and subject.
Understand the need to smoke in jesalmer’s cold climate.
clarity is outstanding
Very intimate and cheerful shot!
Good Winning Picture
Excllent composition, lighting and backround
Great moment!! Fantastic lighting!!
Some basics of photography required a photo can tell a story and that story should be told in an original way. This shot displays these basics and much more. The composition of the frame is well done showing the two people located in the centre of the frame; the fire gives a touch of warm to the cold environment around and one of the friends is showing a familiarity to the other smoking one. I suppose the shot has been taken early in the morning and everybody can feel a strong sense of cold weather. I can say tea for two in the desert at the light of woden fire. Excellent.
Fabulous photo. Real life at its simplest
Hats off to you sirr!!!!!
As usual ur pics are fantastic. Excellent Photography
The snap is too good, a single moment shot with best possible light effect at proper intensity.
Thanks for perspiration.
EXCELLENT AND VERY GOOD COMPOSITION WITH NATURAL MOOD.
A great shot capturing the early morning spirit of two friends. The smile of one person’s face tells it all. He is happy to be there in the moment and not thinking about anything else. Totally STRESS free. Great job Tilak Haria.
