Hi Sandip,
superb blur in b&w... I also like the crop and the fact that the baby's face is in the dark.
Still working with the baby in her arm... sad (and risky as you mentionned in your note)...
Regards
Fred

Hi sandeep..
Though it has blur..feeling get conveyed..
I mean photography is not only having sweet, beautiful sunset or portraits. but it is mainly of expression, feeling & body language.
I can get the feelings & pain of construction worker in India.
mainly from Andhra pradesh, Thousands of worker migrate & work on daily basis on various construction sites.
Life is really hard for them..to earn few rupess..regardless of health condition & weather they need to prepare their lunch mainly plain rice or rotis...with crushed green chilies or vegetables..& they need to go to MAN market where they will be hired by some mediator who will negotiate with them for wages & of course he will take out his commission.
No security, No insurance, No safety equipment & no benefits..
they to work..to feed themselves & there families ...
Life is worst than hell..but nobody cares..
-Regards,
