You continue to find ways to remind us of the harsh realities of life around the globe. Well done.

Well done. Really reflects the mood.

#1, I think is well composed and captured. That bicycle and that lil truck adds to the story. Very nice portrait!

#2. I would have liked it if you had stepped a lil back and included more of their surroundings. But thats just me. When it comes to shots like these I would not care if it is technically precise.

I really like the first one.. small boy and a huge bottle and lovely tones. Did you take them with film or digi, Mansi? I suppose it was canon, wasn't it?

 

[Mansi]

Thanks all
cannoncan- thanks much for your kind words, appreciate it...
airic- thanks for looking and for your comments
danalec- thanks for your comments, perhaps i could have done the 2nd differently, but these were rushed shots... argh, however i do like its closeness... although i could have tried more angles...
mentos- both of these were shot on film, ilford 100iso on my nikon... and that was a lil girl thanks for looking

Great shots Mansi - I love #2. The slightly soft focus adds to the mood.

Very National Geographic looking photos. Put an app. in , I bet they would hire you on the spot. Very nice captures Mansi.

excellent as always!

Your stuff continues to amaze me. Whether you show photos of the architecture or the sadness on the streets, you have a special way of presenting it well. Great work Mansi.

Thanks Jon and thank you Chiller....thanks for looking at my work..

Very moving....#2 is spellbinding - hits a little too close to home.

I have a feeling it's going to be quite depressing when i go to india next month after almost 3 yrs. I'm inches away from quitting my comfy 9-5, packing up and working for an NGO back home and also being a part-time freelance photojournalist, except that i have experience & qualifications in neither... hope i muster the courage to make that move sometime soon.

Great stuff, Mansi....i have to agree whole-heartedly with Chiller.

The second photo is really nice, very powerful.

National Geographic doesn't hire staff photographers, last I heard. All of their work is freelanced, I believe. (though someone correct me if I'm wrong).

i really like both, Mansi!
you've captured emotions and mood perfectly!-
really love the second one! Its 'imperfection' doesnt bother me - the world is not perfect after all-
