Hi Caleb,

You were once talking to me about hyper sharpness with some lenses, something you were not keen to... This shot is for me ultra sharp and I'm not complaining about it.

The pose is perfect, the frame is à-propos and the choice of a large aperture very wise.

The eyes are captivating and their position certainly have something to do about it. But it's the intensity and the vulnerability that are both present in them that catch the attention.

A sincere and honest shot.

Cheers!

André

I like her hand holding the bar and her eyes, in-between the two, intensely watching you

ciao Caleb,

I am getting bored in writing such a comment but saying "her eyes are so deep and magnetic..." is the definitely best way to describe this eye contact established.

Hello my dear Caleb

What a beautiful and marvelous shot!
Unique and perfect framework / composition and nice color(every-time vivid) / light management are splendid as usual!
Her expression seems to be sad and make me feel paisos too.
Congratulation on your masterpiece!
Thanks for sharing and best regards,
Have a nice Tuesday !

Hi Caleb, great shot with the metal bars providing an added element of interest - especially with the chipped paint and grime, typical of public transport in India. Cheers, steve

Hi Caleb,
I like how you captured her behind the bars, an unusual setting. Expressive eyes, bright colors and patterns of India.
cheers,
Cristian

Hi Caleb,
A touching portrait of this young girl clutching the bars, like she was captivated. The colours are very fine here too.
Kind regards
Gunnar

Hi Caleb!
Yes, this one certainly grabs me. I love her gaze, and the bars make it all work. The colors...well, of course they are great. Wonderful shot, regards,
