A little blurry, but a great shot none the less. I think you metered the light just right. Well done Sandip, I'm sure this one will get a lot of praise.

I like this one very much, Sandip. Excellent in b/w. The white Fg and the black BG creat a wonderful frame for this image.
I like the glow in their eyes very much. Very good shot.

Hi Sandip, very nice one, I like it how you convey these boys, only fill half the frame, and the rest behind a curtain. (oh, I went to read their story, it's not actually a curtain, but the wall of their house). It's a shame that these boys can't go to school.
Very strong in B&W, nice brotherly love!

Great I love yours photos and composition and I recognise these beautiful little boys I think I prefer the one with color with the beautiful blue but it is again a good shot.

It is a little blurry (of course all of mine are too!) but I think the blur gives it a kind of soft feel. Appropriate for the two brothers/friends hugging. Their expressions are perfect. A really touching shot. Nice composition as well. JP

Hi Sandip, again a good post.
This is a perfect example how a monochrome version changes the texture of a composition. the things that really attract me here are the contrats, particularly in the rightmost part, the hands, the shoulder and the vest. while see, the beautiful blue polythene bag has turned into a flat light gray on the left. i would have put the least part of the left in the frame, and concentrated more on the darker elemnts of the B&W composition.
Anyway, just my personal reflections.
Thanks, Arnab

I like the way tose boys look in black and white. it gives a special mood to the picture. in the colorshot I liked the compo with the blue part but here I'd rather have lesswhite on the left, and more focus on the boys. But both pictures are good.

This moment is a very good moment in photography and I like it.
Well done for how you build this portrait. Choice in BW is excellent and restitution perfect.
Good catch

Hello Sandip,
I've missed this lovely shot. The B&W conversion are really well handled. The picture has a good contrast but IMO to soft...but a very little bit too soft. But what i like the most in your picture, you show us the importance of fraternity.

Surprising that Surabh has not responded on this one yet. I like the composition of the photograph and the candid expression of the younger boy. Sharpness seems to be lacking by a bit but overall impact of the picture is not effected so much.
Glad to have come across your photographs!

Good low profile lighting effect Sandip. Black and white was a good choice. Much better than your other photo of the similar subject. However a portrait orientation and cropping of some of the white wall in the left would have been helpful. Good composition.
