Hello Hanif. A socialcritical photo. A poor family on the way home. For me this photo is the study of a typical family of Pakistan. The political purchase is unimportant for me. I concentrate only in the photo. It is actually very alive and interesting. I get a PICTURE of of one family. Parents, children, clothes, faces etc. The photo works very authentically. It pleases me very well. Best regards, Wolfgang.

Hello Hanif,
One of the more demanding pictures I've seen on TE. Terrible in a way, actually quite beautiful in other ways. The three little kids in the "pram" are lovely. I sense a strong feeling of pride and resoluteness in the faces of the father and the second boy from the left.
Thanks for sharing,
Gert

Hi Hanif,

I wont say i loved your picture, its decent...
But i am still touched and thats imaratively more important,

i can feel the bond between the brothers.. the ones sitting on that iron pram... its not a pram but a device to collect garbagge.. they are beautiful...

but it does remind me of the fact that we are responsible for our own destruction, people from all around the world got into every sort of demarcation, relegion.. caste.. country.. but one cannot deny that the human's have suffered in all the given conditions,

its not what given but i think how we use it makes it a life...

This is for the third time i came and saw this image.. i realised its worth all the smiles i can...

Thanks and regards
Kapil Bhardwaj

Hello Hanif,
I beautiful photo of a family, a proud family indeed. I don't see that they are poor at all. They are clean and the children well fed. The Dad pushing the children in a wheelbarrow to me just looks as hes found an easy way to get the little ones from one place to another without having to carry them all.
What beautiful faces..it is only too bad we can't see his beautiful wife, but we do know she is beautiful as we see the face of her in the childrens eyes...

Hi Hanif,

A striking and evocative image ..
Technically I love the way the f5 brings them out and I love the color range across them ..
emotionally it is powerful .. I can feel a power and determination from them .. the pride in their struggle against such an overwhelming world .. thank you for sharing it.

take care,

John
