Photographer: Susan I Cohen, from Lake Worth, Florida.
Getting the Shot: The photo was taken at the Pushkar Camel Fair in India in November 2007.
The Details: This is a once-a-year event when the tribesmen from all over come to buy, sell, and trade their camels, horses and other livestock. There are acres and acres of "life" happening all around you. We were walking to the arena to watch the beginning of the camel races when I spotted a group of women in their colorful saris and wraps sitting on the wall at the outskirts of the area. This was a "one shot" deal as we continued our walk and I love it.
We Love: The rainbow of colors contrasted against the stone wall. What do you think?

I loved the photograph. The colors are wonderful!
Fabulous picture......love the fact that there are no faces just the backs of these women with their colorful saris....
This is a fabulous shot with the attitude of the women and their colorful wraps. The wall texture and tone works with the figures and the soft color of the sky. Love it.
Beautiful photograph. Indian women wear the most colorful attire in the world.
Cracking shot. Love the color saturation.
Gorgeous!!
