Indifest is one of my favorite images that I shot back in 2011 during the Shri Krishna Janmashtami Festival, which is also known as ‘Dahi Handi’.
It’s a joyful celebration of Lord Krishna’s effort of stealing butter from ‘Matka’ that is suspended in the air. ‘Govindas’ which is a group of enthusiastic men or men who form a human pyramid in an attempt to reach the break the pot.

I really like the colour grading of this photo! May I ask how did you manage to capture and edit such authentic skin tones and colour in your photo? Was this only done in Lightroom?
While this composition is powerful in itself with the leading lines and energy of the image, I find myself drawn to the person in the centre with the strong eye contact. I wonder how would the tone of the image change if it was composed in a way that made him the focus. I'm almost curious what he is thinking and/or looking at and want to know more.
That being said, it is a great image, and I love the way it was edited.
