Papa's caught you taking the shot, Shail, he's not too pleased and that, in art makes this picture of course. A moment of "panique", kid and dad bathed in that strange yellowish gold, and the cropped red balloon above it all.
A cool, complex shot.

There's a contemporary urban magazine style to this image Shailendra which I really like - the figure to the left could maybe do with a bit more light but not too much so as to distract - the edge of the moment is there in this dynamic between daughter and her focus of attention and the guy and his focus of attention on you....there's a raw edge to this simple moment dramatised by the colour rendition and these deep shadows......I like this a lot.

Great framing, and thats quite an angry looking dad. Colours are amazing S. You are finding all the right harmony. Very good work, from the last few that I have seen. Keep it up.

Hi Shailendra,
I like how the light falls onto his face. Great light. His expression is powerful. Orange balloon has adds a nice touch as well.
Very dramatic image.

Take care,
Brian

Another great shot from the festival Shailendra. Your colors keep on looking great. The blues are absolutely surreal. And this time you even popped some oranges... The composition is very strong, very intricate, very complex. A multitude of light and shadows, of bodies and faces. But my favorite element is how the father and is gaze seemed to be glued on top of the photo. It really looks a collage. It's an amazing one.
