The hint of colour allows one to realize how ones life is small and the B&W parts make us to remember the dead which is hard sometimes etc. Posted: 11/09/2025 15:20:24

An interesting technique. I like the small bit of color against the otherwise black and white image. Did you have that in mind when you took it or did that come to you in processing?
The cards on the ground and the extra incense are a bit distracting. I think picking them up for the shot and returning them after would bring better focus to the subject. Other than that I think it's good photo and presentation. Posted: 11/10/2025 12:51:28

The pop of colour works well although you could have toned down the pieces of paper, so that they weren't so bright and thus distracting. I do like the angle that you have shot from and the different shapes you have captured. It shows how populous this place is. Posted: 11/12/2025 14:26:15
The black and white really works to draw us to the color of the writing and the important details of the incense, flames, and cards. Posted: 11/17/2025 21:55:31
