Today we are clelbrating Rakshabandahn (Rakhi)in India.

Raksha Bandhan (the bond of protection in Hindi) is a Hindu festival, which celebrates the relationship between brothers and sisters. It is celebrated on the full moon of the month of Shraavana.

The festival is marked by the tying of a rakhi, or holy thread by the sister on the wrist of her brother. The elder brother in return offers a gift to his sister and vows to look after her same as elder sister return offers to younger brother. It is not necessary that the rakhi can be given only to a brother by birth; any male can be "adopted" as a brother by tying a rakhi on the person, that is "blood brothers and sisters", whether they are cousins or a good friend.

This capture is dedicated to my sister. I could not manage to reach her this year due to some problems and i miss her very much.

You have a very nice close-up of the Common Crow. The colours of its wings and body are bright and look clear against the blurred background, and especially on the flower

Hola Pankaj, una toma elegante la que hoy nos presentas y tal como nos tienes acostumbrados. Buen conjunto de colores y bien enfocada a pesar de la evidente dificultad.

Hi Pankaj,

A beautiful dedication to your sister for this wonderful festival. It is a shame you couldn't contact her - I hope she sees this. A magnificent closeup of this Common Crow with deep rich colors and razor sharp details. Beautiful flower too. Background and composition are superb.

Hi Pankaj!

... but she certainly has captured your thoughts and felt that you were thinking at her. Your dedication is very feelingly and the picture is simply marvellous. It's a typical "Pankaj" held in marvellous colours and with a perfect lighting.

Kind regards
