I like the compo of the first image.

Pic 1, 2, 7 and 10 are my favourite. A very creative series, and refreshing different from the rest of the Thaipusam posts in this forum.

your pictures are very nice!!! i like the colours very much!

just wanna ask...do you need permission to get so near them or is it accessible to all public?

thanks

Thanks, Ah_Seng, ironargon and surge

surge: Special permission is not required. The festival is still on today. However, just a gentle reminder to all - be respectful to the devotees, their families and friends... and be careful too. I've seen some photographers and people of other races/cultures cross over in their stride food that had been placed on the ground, and i've also seen some photographers knocking into kavadis that were still attached to the carriers (i believe it might be painful to the carriers) due to space constraints.

Just asking. Are you the one who won the Nikon Yellow contest under the Best Captured Moment section? If yes, must kow-tow to you.

Sorry to go off tangent in this post Chromodynamics, hope you don't mind

To Spectrum, yes I managed to get a lucky shot of the performer. Thanx for noticing it

chromodynamics · 12th February 2006

Ironargon is indeed the one! I kow tow to him too... big time.

I took pix 8 and 9 at 2.40 p.m., within the kavadi dismantling area. I'm not sure if i'm the one you saw, but 'Hi' in any case
