Eggs for Breakfast, a photo from Madhya Pradesh, Central

Photographer's Note

The boy with the egg stall in Chanderi was there early morning and late afternoon. Always with a tray or two of shining white eggs. Parking his hand cart against the old wall, I couldnt resist a photo.

Hi Elaine
yes, how could you not resist right!
I would have taken these photo's as well :)
the backdrop wall, and the light thats striking it provide you with the perfect scene.
even the old looking wheeled cart is an excellent subject.
wonderful shot.

Une nouvelle très belle scène de vie dans la rue indienne. Jolie composition avec ces enfants joyeux (même si leur commerce ne leur rapportera certainement pas beaucoup de roupies!) et la belle utilisation de ces écritures sur le mur (publicité?)
Amicalement

Hi Elaine
I am always impressed by an ability to see and capture image like this as characteristic of the country. The comp of this is so good. The focus is on the boys and the cart but the eye is naturally led to the backdrop and fine that u have good eye connections there. The exciting boys and the rustic wall do the trick just as well and some vibrant colours really help to make this such a poignant shot. Super piece of street photography. Well done
Warm regards

Hello Elaine.
This is another fine daily life capture with two kids selling eggs. The shell is so white and I like the writing on the wall as well.
Thanks and have a nice day.

Hello Elaine

Another interesting combination of extoic alphabets and smiling faces. I also like the shadow of the cart. The sharpness on the boys' faces seems to have let you down just a bit here, so I wonder if you went any closer for more pictures here.

The kind of shot/scene I find impossible to resist.

Hi Elaine!
I understand why you couldn't resist! The nice background and their smiling faces really catch our eye:)! The morning light is just perfect and the composition is very good!

Hello Elaine,

You have posted many interesting photos of India lately. I am not sure which one I prefer, but also like this one in particular.
A typical street life shot, and a very interesting wall.

TFS
