The Hoogly is the main estuarine branch of the Ganga (Ganges)river through Kolkata.

A little mist with the heavy pollution that is all to common in Indian cities.

Nice emphasis on the boat without losing it in the reality of the pollution.

Thanks John. I have done a monochrome that shows the acid yellow of the pollution.

This is a really nice minimalism image. I sort of like that the bridge is almost invisible. It makes the image look really "unreal."

I'm with Kathy - so much conveyed with so little in the frame.

The usefulness of the golden segment can’t be overlooked in this composition.

When nature does selective color it always works for me! I like this very much Graham, thanks.

Looks like a very lonely place and time even though there are several people on the boat. I'm thinking not a life I had to live.

It's a very busy river Jim. On one bank is the vast sprawling city of Kolkata with a population of 4.5 million, on the other bank, is Horah with its the population at 1.37 Million. The bridge links the two cities.
