A beautiful Indian bride receives blessings from the Ganges river before entering into matrimony.
Probably due to my own emotional link, I consider this one of my favorite photos of India. I nearly wasn't able to get this photo after my request to the groom was angrily dismissed. An Indian guy advised me to receive permission from the father of the groom so I approached the man and chatted him up and after about a 15 minute conversation, I finally persuaded him to allow me to take a photo of his daughter-in-law.
It's hard to detach myself and consider this picture objectively so I'm curious what you think about this photo. Write me an email or leave a comment.
