nice documentary. compliments -koushik

Thanks

Very well done reality portrait. Regards, --George

thanks.

In terms of a documentary photograph, I wish the boy were looking at his task and not you. Still, it captures the essence of the slums in the manner in whic the boy is washing.

at first i was a li'l disappointed when he looked up but his lack of embarrassment at being photographed in such a position was a revelation (in short, kids not from the slums would not have liked being photographed thus) and the charm of his smile won me over totally...

This is another of your documentary images that move me to celebrate life. The message here for me, it that he is embracing his path and going with the flow. If you have not seen it, please do, "GO WITH THE FLOW" is a great movie. Take care. BR.

This lovely plant is generally liked in India as an indoor decorative plant. I believe it can't take very strong sun... I shall check the movie out...

 

Jorge, thanks. You're quite a pillar of support...

No words, dear Rajat. great plasticity thanks to a perfect b&w. Compliments

Banters!?! Do you consider my compliments banters?!? So far?!?

I shall reconsider one or two things... ;-)

be careful, the lenses will crack with the strain, and you'll need a fresh pair and till such time as they can be got ready there'll be no tennis and no editing... at least upload something first that we can critique

Did I tell you that in the last month I abandoned my 40 years habit to wear glasses and passed to contact lenses? No, probably I didn't.

Ahahahahahahahah
