Hello Steve,
A portrait that makes you feel uneasy. A haunting look. It is good that such views are also posted to remind us of the sad life conditions of many people.
Very fitting dark colours.
Regards,
Paul

Hello Steve,
I will not easily forget those eyes. The dark tones make this picture look like something from hell. Maybe it is.

Hello Steve. The face of the small girl is much impressing. It speaks for itself. Really a strong photo. Regards, Wolfgang.

This is a wonderful portrait that really makes one wonder about the future for this child. I also like the back drop of a dirty dress and hands. Excellent composition.
Sincerely,
Kate

Such a strong poignant image Steve - the picture is rich with meaning and evokes such a 'feeling response' from me as a viewer.......the tonal value is unusual and excellent. Another favourite for this year.
best wishes KEv

Hi Steve!
This one is very striking! Lovely clarity, with different sort of lighting that is very effective here. You have certainly caught some if that "Calcutta" feeling. Nice work, cheers,
Steve

Hi,
Its really a wesome shot. U have used the wide version wonderfully. The Eyees of the boy gives a scrace feeling. Very good use of light.
An emotional portrait for the street children.
