Flower Amongst Flowers
The setting sun illuminated a Rajasthani village woman in her family compound’s field of marigolds as she tended to her colorful crop. She brought to mind a flower that had sprung to life from her surroundings.
Photographed in a small village near Pushkar, Rajasthan, India. November 2007.
Canon 10D with Canon 100-400mm lens.

this is fantastic, all that orange!!!! Rajasthan is my favourite place in the whole world, I’d love to go back there with my camera.

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!
whalegeek replied
Thank you, lorilee.
Jan Timmons
Beautiful composition and I agree—all that beautiful colour! I love this photo, and hope she, too, can blossom in her environment.
Jan Timmons
You know, I think you should add “orange” and “yellow” to your tags. On the front page of RB they classify photos by colour and all sorts of other parameters. I just happened to notice today, rather than entering my usual way. This is well worth cover coverage.
whalegeek replied
Jan, I appreciate both your positive comments as well as your helpful suggestions about tags. Since I am new to RedBubble, there is much to learn. Thank you for helping steer me in positive directions!

I much agree it is that.. she is her flowers.. this is a wonderful image.. we featured it too!
whalegeek replied
A most appreciative thank you to you!
Wendi Donaldson
What a beautiful and poetic description of this woman in the shot. Congrats on your feature.
whalegeek replied
The best part of photographing this woman were the shy smiles she and I exchanged as I left her compound. My regret is that we were unable to converse other than in the language of shared smiles.
IngridSonja
Beautiful shot! Love the co-ordinated colours!
Erika .
This is simply beautiful. Love the gold and orange of the flowers and the woman’s clothing as well. This is magical. :)
whalegeek replied
Your enjoyment of this photo makes me very happy. It truly was one of those capture-it-now moments in time.
Jen Ryan
Very Pretty!!
whalegeek replied
Thank you, Jen!
Nancy Barrett
Natural and amazing. And her sari matches the flowers!
whalegeek replied
Wasn’t that a wonderful coincidence? All was golden that day…the dust in the air that cows kicked up lent even more of a sunny hue to the scene. I am happy you enjoyed this photo.
Tim Cowley
Great shot! She seems so natural, and content, in this setting.
whalegeek replied
Your kind comments are appreciated, Tim. When I took this photo, there was such a sense of peace to the field of marigolds, a lush quiet moment at the end of the day.
Emmahleee
This is beautiful
She does look like a flower in he own way

Erika .
I may be kind of late….but congratulations on getting featured. Well deserved. :)
whalegeek replied
erika15, thank you for your very kind comments about my photo. I must say that for a very young person you have a most interesting portfolio of art. I never would have thought to spotlight spent flowers but think your efforts are quite compelling, very artistic efforts! They convey a melancholy air. Thank you for sharing them and the rest of your art with the RedBubble community.
Erika .
Wow, you don’t know how much your words mean to me….thank you so much. I’m so happy my artistic efforts work for you. Thank you so much for the compliments, i will remember them. :)
whalegeek replied
More power to you, erika15!

DottieDees
I can see why this is a favorite..just beautiful and you express it just as it appears!!
whalegeek replied
Dottie, I am pleased this photo spoke to you. What bothers me is that I was unable to speak to this lady. Not only was there a language barrier but she was shy and obviously under the watchful eye of her mother-in-law. Still, smiles between us built bridges across the gulf of cultures. It was as special moment in time for me. Thank you for your kind comments.
MountainHawk
Nice capture! Congrats on the feature!

What a breathtaking photo ! lacitroille is right, she is such a part of her surroundings, not so much blending in as accenting it. What a beautiful shot.
