Peoples of the world (*)

Atlanta

Everytime I drink a glass of water, it makes me think about the source. Where did it come from? All great civilizations started near a reliable water source... The ten great rivers... Each a cradle of civilization. We exsit because they do. We (have water to) drink... therefore we are!

Looks like you have been working on this image. now glasses do stand-out a bit.-Abstract
btw i apologize for the "Ganga" comment...its one of my worst pet peevs, so i reacted a bit harshly.

Thanks Abs, I had tried blue/yellow and red backgrounds. They are too over powering. Finally I chose the white. I woud tone down the brightness, might help the glasses at the end. About "Ganga" you are 100% right. I debated several times. I would use ganga when I am refering to just the river in Indian context. Howerver as I read more about "rivers of the world" Ganges refers to the river-system, including tributaries and its delta etc. So I found "Ganges" to be more appropriate in this and only in this context of the shot, IMO. Otherwise its still "Ganga" to me. -Cat

Now that is called an intelligent shot. for the *, glasses are kind of dissolving in the background. imho different bg or light-colored glasses with complete shadows on the left would have worked better.

ps: i was expecting atleast you to write "Ganga" instead of "Ganges".
