The Annual Hindu Festival was held over 10 days at the Hindu Temple of Greater Orlando. I phoned and requested permission to come and take some shots. It was an incredible experience. The ceremonies were beautiful full of color and smiles. Nobody was ever concerned about the my picture taking and several workers and guests went out of their way to help me. I hope the pleasure I had from taking this photos resonates in the image I am submitting for this challenge.

This is an absolutely beautiful image and it works so well in sepia. I especially love the expression of the girl on the right. Unfortunately, it's not a sharp focus. The best thing to try for future shots is to focus as much as possible on the eyes of at least one subject. Professionals usually measure sharpness if they can see the eyelashes of a subject (of course, this is not always possible with moving subjects). For this scene, maybe shooting at f8 would have helped a bit and locking the auto focus down would have worked abit to improve focus.

Like the soft focus here and the sepia tones. Good capture of emotion -- relates well to your title.

way out of focus. B&W here is not appealing either.

With a bit more focus, and maybe a bit less of harsh lighting I would have scored this higher. I like the tones you chose to use.

I like the color here and the candid moment. It is however out of focus.

I would like this better more in focus and against a solid background.
