moo-ve along!, a photo from Rajasthan, West

Photographer's Note

A real tight squeeze for equal rights and the flavour of Jodhpur street...

There is in some sense a place for this big guy here as cows are considered sacred in India and there are lots of them just roaming freely around the streets. They are the favourite animal of Lord Krishna and they
serve as a symbol of wealth and strength. I watched through the lens until I felt the composition was right and grabbed this shot although the lighting was a bit harsh to my liking.

You simply have to be careful where you walk.

Setting: 16 mm, 1/15 sec, F20, ISO Raw 200, 0932 hrs & polarised

Pleasant picture lovely to look at.
Very well done, TFS.

Have a nice weekend,

Hello Abmdsudi.
A nice composition with this scene of the real environment in the streets of Jaipuer in this case, the cow so calmly passes next to the parked motorcycle, by the way, it looks very fat for India, it is sure that she is pregnant, the other motorcycle for the street flies by.
Good management, both of brightness and sharpness.
Very well done. I like it.
Enjoy this weekend, before Christmas.
My best wishes for you.

Hello Abmdsudi,
Excellent timing to get this photo. I like the cow and the small red scooter at left, next to the blurry person passing by at great speed. Very nice light and fine colours.
