[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Picture taken in my Ooty trip, It was early morning and I was going from my Hotel to "Chering Cross" the heart of Ooty town.

This boy belongs to a tribal village called "Ketti". I ask his name but he was silent and only smiling. I showed my camera to him and asked if I can take his picture or not, He nodded his head and say YES..........

for me it is a bit lack of details.. Perhaps u have made a more percentage of the Neat Image.. and thats the reason his face looks a little unreal.. but the essence of thhis portrait is fine...

What a really beautiful shot Arindam - this is just fantastic - great colour, DOF and perfectly placed composition - a touch out of focus on the face but those eyes - they are real magnets!

Great stuff!

best wishes Kev

What a nice postcard shot, wish you were here.
Well framed and great use of DOF, nice to see the tea plantations in the bckground. He makes a nice model for you even if he was silent. Nice work, Arindam.

His eyes are huge and so deep! I like how they match that Nike cap and how they stand out against the bright background and sweater. Nice DOF.

Excelent potrait and interesting blured background. Fine composition.

Arindham,
Nice dusky image.
The boy looks very mischievious...
Teh back ground could have been blurred a little to make it less distractive...
Good job!.

You just do it ;o)
Nice portrait, beautiful look that stands from the background here.
TFS, Al.

Perfect DOF OOF background and sharp potrait seeing his pull-over and his cap, very nicely placed in the frame, the dark piercing eyes and like Sandip already noticed a tiny bit too much NI on his skin, sure easy to recover this to perfection to become an outstanding one. Keep on to it Arindam, you got the eye for it !

thats nice sharp and cute. very good DOF and contrast levels.

Hi Arindam,
Great portrait! He has such beautiful black eyes! :o)
The colors are beautiful and the depht of field is just perfect: the little guy is very sharp and there's a slight blur in the back. I really love it!
Regards, Brigitte
