Young Wrestling Champions

these kids were captured in late evening light just as they lifted

traditional Gurz [ wrestligh trophy in ancient Persia & India ],

after a tough wrestling match. ratings & comments r welcome!

Umair, the uneven lighting detracts a little in my opinion. Otherwise good.

Excelente luz, color y un bello encuadre, un cordial saludo Umair.

Is this the way heroes look like? What he holds in his hands is perhaps worth more Rupees than what he will earn during his whole life. The composition and pose is excellent. The background could be seen as distracting but in my view it adds to tell something about the "background" of these kids. The light is not ideal but it highlights the crucial parts of the boy in the foreground with the trophy and there is also some light on the face of the second fighter. I think it would be exciting to roam around with you in the festive backyards of Punjab. Perhaps, who knows, one time... Thanks for sharing your unique portfolio which depicts the richness of your country. Karl

A typical scene in the sub-continent well captured. The glint in their eyes shows promise and future.
