Oh wow, these are so beautiful! Not only is the "Lady in Orange" a beautiful lady as she is. But you also captured her in a very beautiful manner. The orange of her sari goes so well with the GREEN of the background (and I cannot but love this! I can't help myself,

), and you had the loveliest light to your advantage when taking these photos.

Yes, you must go back and bring her the prints, she really deserves them and she will love them! I would!

Despite the fact that the third is a bit blurred, I really like that one very much, too, it is so natural to see her in the process of re-arranging her sari. Wonderful. Lovely. Great. Her smile is absolutely smashing in that one.

Very nice. I really like 3 and 4 although I wish three was sharper.

Great series Mansi - I like them all but # 3 is my favorite, However I do agree with you and Eric about wishing it was a tad bit sharper, but it's still my fav!

Thanks woodsac and randog

I would have expected a MUCH, MUCH, MUCH larger response to these photos! I am surprised that so far only four people have responded, including myself...:scratch:

Simply stunning as always. Like all of your subjects, she just radiates emotion.
The second is my favorite, but they are all drop dead beautiful. I really love your work and always look for your name on these threads!
