Great shot! The perspective made by putting the two figures to the right in conjunction with both looking out of the frame into the right and the white wall to the left together is a winner

Whata beautiful child. The tilt ogives the impression that this duo is in a precarious situation. The colors are stunning. The child's ahnd on the adults foot shows tenderness and high level of trust. The negative space on the left is great.

Hello Caleb,

This picture immediately attracted me, first because I am a fan of pictures from India, then because I liked your deliberate framing a little bit casual, perhaps wrong in photography rules, but nice because so spontaneous. I also enjoy the tungsten light coming from inside and the frightened look of the impatient mother. Take care - Izzet

great colors, great off-kilter composition...the typography adds such a such element.

Nice shot. Great expressions and good colours. Nice light on the faces.

excellent shot caleb! i like the way you de-centered the subjects in front of this red text on the wall behind them. The slight tilt goes well with her position which sets the balance of this shot. She is the only strictly vertical element in the photo! well done!

What were they looking at ? The black background makes the sari colour stand out and contrast with the bright wall.
Excellent and unwedged shot !

The way these twos look is fantastic! I like the colors and the way you gave importance to the written notation on the wall is quite a good idea.

I like, their expression are very natural. Colors are beautiful.
But what are they looking for ?

Excellent. Stands out: the way the 2 people look in the same direction. Makes you wonder what's there!

I made the workshop but forgot to give you the points! I like the expression of the woman, wondering what's going to happen in the doctor's office.

Good capture. They seem to have worried expressions on their faces. I like the composition and the interesting bg. The diagonal line gives an uneasy feeling that adds to an atmosphere.

Why they do not look at You?
a guy with camera in a few feet away ignored??
