In Hope..., a photo from West Bengal, East

Photographer's Note

In Hope... this little girl watches a ball that flutters to settle down... just like the lives of Refugees.

pic from Tibetian Self Help Centre, Darjeeling.

my friend Shalin dedicates his poem to the refugees...
High in the sky,
higher than where birds fly
lies my hope
I believe.

Splendid moment captured. A higher shutter speed would have got the ball freezed but I guess the blur add's to feel that your title wants to express.

Didn't look promising from the thumbnail but when I opened it and saw the action I realised what a clever photo this is. Well captured.

Dear Karthk,
Very touchy picture..i like very much this kind of
symbolic shot..i like the note and poem too..actually

I really like this new serie you are posting with small people on large background (don't know how to explain, but you get it). It's simple but has a lot of emotions to it. Well done Karthik.
