Thanx Arup for ur reply.
Critics r always welcome, actually I do believe that it helps a lot 2 improve. But that should b constructive.
Like my photo, this time again u hv nt read my reply properly. Ur point was if d frontal nudity was need or not and u opined that I am ignorant of Naga philosophy and my POV is offensive.
On d contrary, I believe that d nudity and indifference of d 3 characters towards that nudity is d key message what I wanted 2 convey, is going well with d philosophy of Naga sect.
Any way perhaps I couldn't xplain my msg 2 u, neither by my photo nor by my reply.
Happy clicking

Thank you very much for your reply.
Under what circumstances you believed that I was pulling your leg ?? Even if it is true, then for what motive ? where and what is my gain ? And what made you believe that I would surely clap if this would have been posted by a white photographer ??
If you kindly review my comment, carefully, and without being personally hurt, you will surely see 3 questions along with my very personal feelings about ethical photography.
When you are posting your work on a forum like this, expect to receive critical comments too. My intention was to make this same shot more interesting, but if you believe the opposite.. its your choice after all.

Thanks Arup for posting your valuable comments. Even after more than 60 years of independence, there is a class of Indians who are very fond of pulling the legs of fellow Indians and worshiping the others!!! If this photo had been posted by a photographer from UK/US, you would have clapped for this POV. Probably u hv nt given proper attention to d photo while commenting. The foreign photographer is concentrating on his face, the other fellow is also indifferent towards d " frontal nudity" and obviously d naga monk as well. Don't u get any msg from this xpressn of d 3 people? I think this indifference goes well with d Naga philosophy which teach us 2 b free from many unnecessary feelings and bondage of material world.

Photographers should be very very aware of what to show and how much to show and the photographs must not infringe human dignity and age old cultures and traditions.
Is the frontal nudity of the monk essential in this shot ?? couldn't you find a better POV to convey the same message ?? Are you aware about the historical origin of the Naga sect ??
