I took this photo in the small town of Nimaj in the Rajasthan state of India. The sun had not yet peaked over the top of the buildings. I liked the bright colors of the buildings as well as those of the dress of the women. Olympus E-M1 and 12-40 lens at 1/320, f/4 and ISO 250. Richard

Love it all, Richard, colors, leading lines of the roads, action of the women, excellent. I might crop from the right some to remove the grey block and green building, both seem to grab my eye.

Wonderful shot, with the colors of the buildings and the colors of the saris. I love that the one woman is looking at you and the other is at work, sweeping. This is just a fabulous travel shot.

Excellent photo-story, Richard. My only thought is to crop or burn that white thing sticking out on the upper right border. It draws my eye a bit away from your subjects.

Excellent image! It really does a superb job of taking me there and giving me a feel for the life and place of this small town in India. Great travel photography.

Love this - the colours of the buildings, saris, and murals work perfectly.
Congrats on a fine WP!
