Don’s response

Heartily agree with photographer Suhas Kulkarni’s decision to convert this image to monochrome. The composition has a timeless quality well suited to the black and white treatment.

There is something quite uplifting in the way the figures knit together the solid foreground and the lightness of the sky.

The arrangement of the clouds is serendipitous too, providing as it does the maximum contrast between the figures and the sky.
