Thanks for the details on the background. Did you print this one? It's wild! Debbi

Thanks Jim, appreciate it. Thanks CJ, yeah it was a fun session and we both had quite a laugh :-D Thanks Cat, yup you are correct, Holi rang it is :-) Had some lying around and used all the dry gulal and other colours for this shot. My poor nephew though; took him a while to get the colour out from his ears/nose ;-) Hi Debbi; unfortunately dont have a set up shot. Actually shot initially with only a yellow backdrop (have them in about 10 colours) and then tried it out with the orange one too. Made him pose just where the two backdrops overlap so that the overlap line wasnt visible. Didnt use any gels for this one. Cheers, Vikas.

I'm wondering how you gelled this background...did you use 2 lights with one gel each? or how do you split the colors. A setup shot would be extra terrific. Debbi

Sure fun! Worth all the efforts. Hope you used gulal and dry holi color for easy clean-up :-) -Cat

Dang Vikas, between this and your little smiley balls you may end up winning your own challenge! Even without the wild colors your nephew exudes happiness - looks like he had a lot of fun posing for you too! CJ

Great work and it does make me happy to look at it. But then, I am not ivolved in the cleaning up!

Thanks K2/Nico, Just wanted to go overboard on the colour so put tons of bright colours on my poor nephew and used a really colourful b/g too. Just wanted to go slightly overboard regarding the colour on this shot. Cheers, Vikas.

Vikas... too much! :-) This is a dangerous shot... it blew out three monitors at home and I smell smoke from the printers as well...! :-) Super work, as always. Regards jnconradie

Grrreat one. And way out of gamut - viva digital displays :) Not sure if you kickstarted eligible into orbit or a coma though.. it's a knockout of a picture lol -k2

LOL Lonnit, decided to go with a riot of colours for this shot and just went all out on it :-) Will be interesting to see if the colour gamut can be reflected in print. Good idea. Cheers, Vikas.

LOL! Are you SURE you have enough color in this shot? Is the entire thing OUT of printer gamma? LOL! Wild shot! ~ Lonnit

Just thought that I would kick start the Challenge. Perchance, my nephew is over to spend the night and implored him to let me take his photo ;-) Cheers, Vikas.
