This is my entry in the ColourfulPhotography contest by @juliank.
This shot was taken in the holy town of Pushkar, in the state of Rajasthan. Even though Pushkar is one of the predominant pilgrimage destinations for Hindus and Sikhs, it has somehow managed to retain a small-town atmosphere.
Red, yellow, green, pink, blue, burnt orange … and a bit of grey metal
As we were walking though the town, these ladies approached on the opposite side of the road, dressed in typically simple but very colourful clothing. As they passed by, I hurried to get a shot of them against the background of the burnt orange wall. I succeeded.
I also tried to take the photo before a car came along and blocked my view. I was not entirely successful, but the photo turned out fine regardless. And maybe even a bit more realistic.
Stopping by to see my steemdunkers today :) I wonder why the one lady's face is covered. Is that to stop pollution or another reason? Good entry for the contest. I actually won my second one after many tries recently and it was nowhere near this good!

Good to see you dropping by. I was never sure why certain ladies covered there head like that, but I believe it's simply to keep the dust away, and maybe to protect them from the hot sun, too.
Speaking of SteemDunk, it is apparently down today. It's not giving out my upvotes to certain followers ( you included, I believe), and when I clicked on its link, I was told there was an error at the "Host," that being SteemDunk.
Congrats on winning another prize!! Hope you have many more championships!

What to you mean by "ignoring"? I see you got an automatic comment from @photocontests2.
And juliank does not respond personally to most entries. So, it's not an issue of you being ignored.

I had a similar experience today in Jaisalmer trying to get a pic of the beautifully dressed group of women passing me. Got a lousy shot from the back. Hope you win

Ya, that happens a lot in India. And as I stated above, the car almost got in the way of this one. Another 0.2 of a second, and I would not have had this photo.
I just remembered another great shot I ALMOST had in India. A cycle rickshaw come passed me by, carrying not people, but a MOTORBIKE. It could've made a great shot if properly "framed," but by the time I saw it, he was gone.
Hope the India journey is as interesting, stimulating, and enjoyable as you had expected.

Great shot! Indian women are such a joy to watch; I have often photographed them too, and spent the last 18 years painting them. Following.

Thanks for the compliment, even praise. Coming from a "fine" artist, it's really appreciated.
By the way, you should check out my link re "Enlarging Photos" at the bottom of my post. Since most of what you are posting is art / images, they would look much better is they are expanded to about twice the size.

It is a Beautiful picture no doubt. Why is the other lady covering her face? Did she know that you wanted to take a short?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
No, as far as I know, she's covering her face as protection against the dust (lots, in India, even in cities) and maybe against the sunshine (lots).
