Mahindra's sister Photo

Photographer’s Note

I took a bus from Udaipur to Ossian. I met a friendly little guide named Mahindra. So many young little touts and 'guides' are annoying, but he was completely amicable. This is a picture of his sister outside their home with a Jain scripture painting as a backdrop.

a lovely smile , a a nice background. the matching colors are nice too. she looks like a little model...
you're right about the young touts, they're starting really young and you can't be suspicious becasue they look so little and innocent.

A bit posed but still very expressive.

Well presented. Although if I were to be super critical, its a pity her head isn't tilting the other way, but that shud not detract from what is an excellent image.

Well done Caleb.

Great shot - the writing on the wall with the use of different characters remind use just how different the world and other countries can be when you travel far and wide.
