sri lanka Six months on...

Some 6 months on from the tsunami disaster of Dec 2004 and so many

people are still traumatised. This 8 year old girl along with her 10

year old brother were the only survivors from the family....they are

being looked after by the granmother. Poverty, poor diet, poverty

and natural disasters...its a credit to the resilience of the human

race.

This is too sad ! A child not laughing into the camera makes me always cry.

Nice portrait. I'm a little distracted though by the light form on the right side of her head.

Thanks to both of you for your comments...it is much appreciated. And yes..the light flash needs to be cloned out...cheers for that.

Very nice shot! A breath of clean air on a site where a "classic" shot is treated with 1/1 and photographers have become so insensitive that they only appreciate shots that shock them (which by the way has nothing to do with the quality). I bet Henri Cartier Bresson or Ansel Adams wouldn't score higher that 4/4 on photo.net. They lack "originality" and grossly super saturated colors. Who cares about real beauty ? Never the less, a 7/7 from me!

Very moving and serious shot! Well framed and well composed... difficult to rate...
