Durga Puja 2013 : An edited take on one of my earlier images

An edited photograph of the Sandhi Puja at our New Alipore Association. I was experimenting using the Nikon Capture NX, that originally came with my Nikon D200, and this was the result.
I quite liked the result.

Durga Puja 2013 : Sandhi Puja

Sandhi Puja at the New Alipore Association this year.

For a change, I took my D7000 and the Nikon 18-200 mm VR and the combination performed quite well in my opinion.
