On the Steps
A scene on the steps that lead down to Dashashwamedh Ghat in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India, taken in October 2015.
I was wondering what it was that drew me to this picture, and now I know! It’s the pyramidal composition plus the two men in white shirts in the background at right and left that provide stop points for the X diagonals! So no you know what goes on in my head!… geometry!

Beautiful shot – it’s surprising how good composition enhances a photo.
Thanks for sharing.
Hi Bill. Comment much appreciated.
I was struck more by the layers of color, the reds and safrons in the front row, and everything else blending into lighter, less intense colors in the background.
Thanks David, it’s amazing how images can be read on different levels…
