This is my first image uploaded to the forum, so be gentle. =)
I took this picture in Varanasi, India. Varanasi is the Hindu holy city. It is believed that if you die there and your ashes are spread in the Ganges river, then you will be freed from reincarnation and go directly to heaven. This woman has travelled to Varanasi to die.
I don't think I've ever said this before, but...perfect. Every element is just, perfect. I can't imagine adding anything or taking anything away that could improve it.
For your first posted image here on APUG, you've set the bar pretty high!
I can't add much to what has been already said...except how special this image is...visually you have captured the essence of human spirituality ,very difficult to do...looking forward for further postings...
