Boys playing criquet in poor district of Mumbai.

By the way, there's a funny story behind this picture. It was my first day in India, and I was very aware how poor are people here. I was walking through some poorer district, when I came across them. I took this picture.
Usually I like to show the picture to the people, but this time I decided not to do it, not to show off with my money and stuff - I didn't want to make them feel uncomfortable.
And then one of the boys took out mobile phone, took with it picture of me, and showed it to me! I felt stupid..

That is funny, when I was in NY one older lady came up to me and took a close up shot just like that, wonder why, kind of hope won't see this image here in TE;-)

Good colours, but IMO a bit busy.

spoko reportaz, fajne kolory

Ha Antoni...where else would you see this spectacle than in Mumbai...the home town of the cricket demi God - Sachin Tendulkar. You never can judge the people of Mumbai with their looks. I have seen people living in thatched houses watching movies in a 29 inch TV. A nice scene that depicts the spirit of the people who we call Mumbaikars.
Very nicely seen and caught

Hi Antoni
A nice atmosphere in this poor street. Your picture is nice for the POV and the great light.
Thanks for posting this unusual photo.
Regards
Bertrand

Cool scene... Very good seen... Colors, light and composition looks fine too...TFS...Ina...

Nice colours and the composition is interesting, very dynamic even though we don't get to see any of the faces. Nicely sharp and nice action frozen by the shutter speed.
