Ganga at Murshidabad

The villagers go across the river Ganga on a  3 rupee ticket(5 if you have your bicycle) on a foggy winter evening.

    is this also with a point and shoot fuzz? if so…do mention it everytime u post a pic, i think its important to take a step back from the affordable slr’s that you see every ‘photographer’ with. :D

    and great composition…love the way people on the boat are placed. Almost as if theyd been told to.

    OMG. This is such a lovely BnW, and it is only your caption that sort of reminds me this is contemporary and not a page stolen from the chronicles of history :) Keep it up Pranav!

    wow! this has such an old world feel.. almost like a page out of an Amitav Ghosh novel.

    @DK – the rural parts of west bengal hv tht vintage feel

    @white night – those are way better

    @sandeep – i really thought the fog wudnt help, but it just made the bridge at the back magical

    The tree branch, the bridge and the cycle on the boat add a lot of character to the picture. extremely nice and calm!
