Our first foray in to sightseeing while in Jaipur was to pay a visit at Amber Fortress, the old capital of the historical state of Jaipur.
Jaipur was a trip of many indulgences for Jim and I. First and foremost there was the stay at the Rambagh Palace, shopping in the city, and at Amber there was the elephant ride up to the fort.
It was perched upon the rolling back of the elephant that I spied this girl walking along the side of the road, determined in her little dress, hands full with pink wrapped packages. I'm not sure what she was up to, but she and her shadow framed up beautifully against the warm tones of Amber.

I would like to see the focus on her face, and (personally) I'd rather see you come in close and capture her in a more immediate sense. But it's still an interesting shot. I wonder, in this culture, if you have to shoot people from a distance or not at all?

I like this one. The downward perspective is interesting and the nicely dressed girl (with tightly wrapped present) contrasts will against the cracked wall and pavement.
