Ragpicker Dreams --- my first on TPF :)

[sanyukta sharma]

Pondicherry, Tamil Nadu. I was taking photos of the sunrise when this child ragpicker put down his bag of garbage and sat down looking out into the sea.
This was just a fortnight before the tsunami struck. Hope he is alright. This is my first post on TPF and also the first time I have displayed this photo in public. Do write in!

Captivating shot!

I like the composition and the whole ethereal quality...processing is maybe a bit overdone but I do like the overall mood you have created.
Welcome to TPF sanyukta! hope to see more.

Hey .. thank you so much. I am glad you liked this photograph. I did change the tones while processing to make it more mellow, perhaps that is why it got overdone. Will take care next time. Thank you
