Ray sahib,
I like the way she has held his hand, and is moving with concentration in a specific direction.
The eyes immediately catch the contrast with the dress, particularly shoes.
In Washignton Dc, too, lives my friend,Chris.

Regards,

Rajeev

I obviously have an affinity for this shot...a particular sentimental attachment. What I didn't notive before is the wonderful tonality of that young blonde womans dress...like liquid silver. It's incredible. Also, the young man holding his jacket away trying to keep the street grime from attaching itself.
Very real.
Chris

* Ha, Rajeev doesn't know that I was standing right next to you when you took this shot...well, atleast close by.

That dress looks absolutely metallic, as if she were a statue, Animesh. It's a great effect. I like the fact that the overall scene is not all clean and polished and perfected--these are ordinary people on an ordinary street, who happen to be wearing nice clothes. I'm not sure about using such heavy dark tones here--I might like to see better who the people are. Great overall look, though. Regards, Ken.
