I had the good fortune to spend a week in the holy city of Varanasi on the banks of the Ganges - took a ton of photos.

Fantastic set Phil.
 
I'm always nervous about taking pictures of people in their day to day surroundings but yours are great to be honest. Did you ask permission or just take the pics. I managed A week travelling through India and your photos bring back so many memories thanks I'll have to dig mine out and post a few

Thanks

Great shots, really captured the atmosphere of the place. Number two is my favourite.
 
What I like of the first set you posted is that you got up close and personal. There is an element of interaction to them. An element of interest between the subject and yourselves. That makes to me a huge difference between just some snapshot in the street and an interesting photographs. Loving the portraits. Well done.
 
A beautiful collection of photos. Varanasi is my favorite city in India and I myself will be heading there again in a few weeks. Such a crazy, exciting, place. so much to see and do.... and the bl**dy cows, they're everywhere.

If you ever go back there, try to do so during Deepawali, the whole of the ghats are lit up using tiny earthen lamps called Diyas. Magical.
 
Cracking images. India offers up so much to the photographer at every turn, would love to go back armed with the camera for a meander on the trains.
 
All really nice captures and Echo Gramps comments about last one
 
Very nice shots, I hope I visit India one day
 
Really enjoyed looking at the set on Flickr - thanks for sharing.
 
Great travel photos with wonderful characters. Magazine material!
 
Lovely set of travel photos which capture the atmosphere of the place. My favourite is number 2 as I like the visual balance of the children faces with the tray of food.

I certainly like your eye and your renditions.
Great story telling, very entertaining and
always the human factor. Respect!
