Kieu-Hanh Vu
About the Image(s)
This week is the Lunar New Year (year of the snake) for some Asian countries. So, I think that this image of a snake, taken in India last year, is adequate to celebrate the year of the snake. Please provide your comments.

A good one for the season, Kieu-Hanh. I was enjoying the street scene and then "found" the snake. It's interesting you opted to show a wider view. I enjoy the context, the color, the shops. But I think the foreground doesn't contribute much. I am curious, did you keep distance because of the snake?   Posted: 02/05/2025 16:49:52
I love the colors in this image - and the contrast between the snake charmer's white robe and the background. He really pops! I had the same reaction as Jack - the primary subject as you have framed the scene is small and difficult to appreciate. I would try to crop tighter; retaining enough of the environment to provide a sense of place; while making it easier to appreciate the snake. I could envision a nice diagonal between the person's eye and the snake. Unfortunately - he's looking at you and not the snake.   Posted: 02/06/2025 11:59:58
