Thanks Adam. No filters! The smoke created the effect. len_taylor

Biblical! Great shot, looks like you've used a lot of photoshop filters - please take that as a positive. I like the way it's ever so slightly blurred (longer than normal shutter speed?). My favourite I think. Adam

Thanks Michael. There was a hum of voices, but the major sensory experience was burning eyes: More than a half million people were camping out for the week on the banks and surviving using wood fires for cooking and heat. The smoke was incredibly dense. len_taylor

I love the quiet colours and painted look in this image. It looks a calm and solemn occasion, but I bet it was noisy.
