Great work as a witness of such a dirty work for orphans.
Intense mood of the girl in the foreground.
Terrible scene, very well represented.
Compliments!

Hello Animesh,

A very good picture. I like especially the background and of course, the girls face at the corner. Perhaps I'm wrong, but some more contrast would have improved the picture a little.

Take care

Nuno

Animesh muy buen trabajo este. Me encanta el B&W escogido para la toma. Es muy expresiva y un muy buen registro de la vida diaria. Nos da muchas lecciones sobre los niños que tienen que trabajar en lo que pueden para ayudar a sus familias.
Increíble composición.
Felicitaciones
Diego

As usual ... sensitive and telling. N, no extra contrast needed.

This is a very moving photo. Without even reading the headline, one already feels for these kids. Thanks for the post.

Sincerely,
Kate

Animesh, your posts became rarer and rarer and I need to say I am still under the impact of the project related to your mother.

Through your images I see how big the world is. An moving. Above all moving.

Hi Animesh
nice to see you posting again. Decent but on the point this picture. "No extra contrast needed", I agree. The dark boy´s eyes in the foreground seem to tell the story which happens in the back. Excellent compo. My only critique is that the outlines of this boy could be a bit more present. I would probably dodge it a bit.
Best wishes

haunting documentary piece of a well known issue. well composed, dynamic, heavy, moody, and the eyes of the boy are striking.
cheers,
Cristian

very moving. your angle and perspective really draws me into the scene. the haze and the tonal differentiation is very good, as well.
