Sleeping..... Photo

Photographer’s Note

The happiest moment in earth when you sleep.. that too in the lap of mother. Here a kid enjoying his privilege sleeping on back of his mother tied with a cloth. The scene captured during a long procession on occasion of SARHUL, a festival to worship nature. Mother was enjoying Sarhul procession while kid was enjoying his life in other world of sleep.

Sure a great capture Niraj. I love the way you managed to preserve the dignity of the moment and yet composed a great looking shot

Hello Niraj,

Cute, but also a nice composition. I do like the hair to the right, the absence of the mother or the face of the mother more than that, the nice contrast with the pink there and nice light and sharpness on the little kid. Nice one!

Greetings, Dennis

Nice light Niraj, and although the spotlight is on the baby and we dont see the mothers face, we know she is there. A subtle composition

Hi Neeraj,

The shot very sensitive and touching,
Holding the child on the back usually will happen in tribal,
I like your POV, the light on the baby face is really cool.

And one more suggestion few points about SARHUL festival will help the people like me :)

here is the link if possible please add in your note.

Hello Niraj
A very interesting way to compose, with the cascading hair of the mother, whose face we can't see here. Of course the baby, sleeping is the main attraction, but I do agree with your compositional aspect, as if the mother's face was visible, part of our interest would have been diverted towards her. Good realisation!
Regards
Angshu

Hi Niraj,
This is just OUT OF THE WORLD!!! What a stunning portrait. They say that the purest sight in this world is the one of a sleeping baby, and you have showed the truth of the statement.
