ILLUSION, A DREAM, A FLAME..

"Emptiness of smiles,infinite space
Time the hunger starves ,trembling
Come back,Man,Martin Luther King..
Hear the moans, chanting freedom.
Friends turn foe, nightmare of life
Fight the right ,breaths of choice
Destiny a single drop of tear..
Unmask the crashing sorrows in heart
Rolls the ocean, caressing your soul
Am the star, the kid, the smile
Am life,the beauty that sparks light..
Hold the doork of darkness closing
Guide the path , I need to smile..
Oh world !! illusion of dreams
In the prison of heart I wait
Shadows to pass, seeking the truth..
Life is always a smile, hidden
Cool, whispers inside my colours
You breathed my dreams, life, true..!! "

SHOT AT COIMBATORE, A REAL VILLAGE LIFE.
Society is an illusion, Life is never !!

"Behold! Human beings live in an underground cave. They only see their own shadows, or the shadows of one another, which the fire throws on the opposite wall of the cave."
~ Plato, 428-347 b.C., Greek philosopher.

Very adorable. Beautiful smiles!!! I love the bright colored clothing. TFS

They say: "God created children to show us that there is still a hope"
Two smiling mouths, and one hidden mouth, two smiling eyes and four hidden ones...
They are beautiful, and colorful like flowers. They are the fragrance of happiness and hope...

Hello my dear poet, J.P.
This is such a good poem ... and the photograph is a poem to be unravelled. Triple faces (so good for composition), triple smiles ... hidden , beginning, developed!
Children's smiles are so infectious, and how wonderful that the children want to smile! You have captured something very special here!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

I like very much the crop here. It is very creative and gets us in the true essence of a smile. Excellent work my friend.

I love the focus and attention on the smiles and so much on the faces. A very special image that bright and so colourful as well.

Bonjour, très cher ami Jean-Paul,
Le sourire est la perfection du rire. Comme la défiance éveille la défiance, le sourire appelle le sourire : il rassure l'autre sur soi et toutes choses autour.

Un sourire pour la journée ! C'est bien agréable !
Amitiés.
Philippe

Hola Jean Paul.
Three beautiful smiles, three beautiful children, captured with very good colors and sharpness. Great POV and frame.
Well done. TFS.
best regards.

Hello JP, this is something I noticed quite a bit last week when I was in Kerala... lots of open smiles from the people. I wish I had the courage to get so close to the people as you have here, but as a non-Indian, it wasn't so easy to do for me. Very nice tight crop here, and the hand over the mouth of the child on the right balances the cut off heads of the other children, emphasizing their smiles.

Jack

Olá Jean Paul, an enchanted trio in a very original composition by the way you cropped their faces. Love the title and the way the little child on the corner gives a special meaning to the whole.
All the best,
ricardo

Hi Jean Paul,

You masks the eyes of the two first and the little girl hides her mouth to show her joker eyes. Original framing on this beautiful whole of smiles. Well done Jean Paul and Thank you for the text accompanying the image.

With all my friendships and very good Sunday,

Jean-Charles

Hello JP,

The smiles are beautiful and contagious. The definitely have a beautiful inocence associated with children. Good cropping and framing of the image, omitting some eyes to emphasize the smiles more. Good colours and sharpness. Thanks friend.

Hi Jean!
Nice and original shot! I like their smiles, their coloursful clothes and mainly the little one on the right that seems to be hiding her smile, she's fantastic and really makes a difference here.

Hi Jean Paul,
It will take me at least two more weeks to complete my Pow Wow editing. I was "in the zone" and working on all eight cylinders (so to speak). Your portraits are always first rate and very creative images of extrordinary quality with your trademark unusual compositions. I love your portraits!
Stan

I think i really miss this shot..
They have pure innocent and beautiful smiles even without shown their eyes. Their colourful cloths just make it perfect.
A lovely shot Jean, Thanks alot.
