Thanks for your time.

your critiques welcome.

Thanks for your time.

Thanks Les, Jorg and Sriram for your kind words.

@ Sriram- i had a few hours of layover at the airport and got lucky with the shot. :)

Great Work Sriram. The softness of the foreground adds to the painterly quality of the image. I wonder if you have more shots from your shoot. It would be interesting to see more from this expedition.

Thanks for sharing this one anyways..!

Let me know what you think.

Thanks.

Yes i do agree with you.

for some strange reason i am reminded of The Pope.

But I cant explain why..!

Although the subject is very centric here, i still like it.

I wish there was a puddle of water in which you could see his reflection...just like the Bresson shot..! :)

Nice work here.

Your comments and observations welcome.

Thanks.

Hi Fritsch..! nice shot here and very well framed and great DOF.

I wonder what a slight tilt could/ would have done to this shot.

B2B guards.....guarding the breakers...!

Your comments and critiques welcome.

Thank You Mario for stopping by. I would have liked to get slightly a better shot in terms of composition but light was fading fast....and the rickshaws werent coming as i wished. I might try this shot again sometime later. Thx.

Well captured Martin. There are a lot of hidden messages being conveyed thru the photograph.

Well seen..!

Your comments and observations welcome.

Some people just cant seem to get rid of the cellphone..!

Your observations on this appreciated.

Thanks..!

Geoff, you have certainly made a lot of people stop by and look at this image which is telling a very powerful story. i know that a picture is worth a thousand words....but i still feel you could quench the onlookers thirst to know the complete or a little bit more about this story by writing a short narrative, if you do know more about the 2 brothers...and how they landed here in the hospital.

Nice capture indeed.

Andrea: you caught me on the right foot about the inclination. i certainly did it on purpose to induce some dynamic effect and see if it works. seems like it is working. And somehow most of the people in the shot were looking at the sky adding to that effect.

Geoff: Yes this is a giant kite about 40' in length i guess, which is why you see the human figures to be so tiny. in fact you could see Rocky from miles away as per the owner..! and certainly a lot of people came just to see the spectacle. i just happened to be there by chance. Got lucky..!

Thanks to you both for stopping by.

and this one is from New Zealand...!

your observations and critiques welcome.

Thanks.
