Hello Subir,

I really dont know what to sy about this photograph..my heart bled seeing this animosity between humans..and I appreciate your effort to project the satanic side of humans for petty resons and the aftermath which is suffered mostly by innocent civilians and children..!!

Regards,
Indro

Hi Subir,

There is absolutely no questions about your ability as a photographer and this one strongly proves that along with all your photos in the gallery. Very strong and bold work I would say.
