Photographer's Note
While driving between Dehradun to Delhi, we stopped near Muzaffarnagar (in state of UP) at a place where fresh Gur (Jaggery) was being made. Jaggery is a type of concentrated product of cane juice without separation of the molasses and crystals, and can vary from golden brown to dark brown in color. It contains up to 50% sucrose, up to 20% invert sugars, moisture content of up to 20%, and the remainder made up of other insoluble matter such as ash, proteins and bagasse fines.
When I was taking picture of the hut where Jaggery was being made (from inside the car), these 2 kids caught me clicking pictures. So I mooved from hut to these kids to click them.

I really like this photo! It captures the colors and general feel very well, and is nicely composed around the children. What I think makes it work so well is that it does not have a 'posed' feel - the hint of blur in the child's index finger gives a feeling that you are catching a moment. The smile on the kid's face helps sell the moment further, and the look on the other kid's face is superb as well. Just a really nicely done job all around. Thanks!
