Photographer's Note
A street boy,Abdul.
Hardly 10 years old..When he was supposed to go to school he is selling a low-cost-sunglass to the bike rider at the trafic signal at Bangalore.
It is not only in Bangalore where u can find such type of young boys but it is in every big cities in India..( Friends,it is not to show how India gives us here,but my honest try to show the life as it is..)we find young boys coming out of home.. an escaper from school ( or who could not afford to go to school for poverty or anything else..).. This is something on what some NGO are working .. but still there is a long way to go.
I was stopped at the signal while going by my bike.He came infront of me and asked me to buy one sunglass.. ( unfortunately i wear a powered lens ). I took him in my camera and showed him.He was happy.
A very bright Sunny day here at Bangalore.

Another excellent portrait shot. I can appreciate what your note says about this being real-life, and it most certainly is. I like the partial showing of the boys face. Thanks for sharing this facet of life with us!

I like this portrait and the notes. The boy is young, but has somenthing older than his age in the face.

This young boy has a nice bright smile, and I like how the little dots on his shirt are hilighted by your shot !

No wasted space on this picture, i like the way you have framed it. It's a pity that those children don't go to school and have to work so young to earn money.

Hi Sandip, You have a very good DOF. The potrait is very clear. The boy's expression is well depicted on his face. Also, you note is very nice.
