Took this shot from a cab while halting at a traffic signal near Sealdah, Kolkata. It shows a child carrying a basket full of "valuables" that she could retrieve from the garbage bin. Just enough time to take out my cam, change the settings and take a shot.This is the only shot i could get of this child before the traffic moved on.

Thanks for the ribbon. To bad you got DQed for a wrong set date. I gave you an 8. (no 10s and only one 9) so go at it again.

This looks like one of Manny's, Nepal series images. Very interesting color treatment. Well done. Textbook rule of Thirds.
11/15/2005 05:03:47 PM
little too overexposed, sorry
11/15/2005 06:56:09 AM
What a wonderful photo that really tells a story. Nice work! 10

the picture is beautiful, but i feel like it could have been processed better. i would have preferred a b&w, i think. the contrast is way too high for me, causing a lot of burning. maybe that's what you were looking for, though?
11/14/2005 06:54:33 PM
Quite the attention grabber. This tugs at the heart-strings and is well set. A little too bright, but perhaps that was intentional. Good job.
11/14/2005 05:50:52 AM
One of the best examples of the theme. Highlights seem a bit overblown
11/12/2005 07:12:57 PM
moving image......
11/12/2005 03:22:23 PM
Image seems a bit overexposed. Using a neutral density filter at the time of the shot would have equalized the highlights better. Subject is wonderful, and I love the concept.
11/11/2005 04:08:34 PM
The overall picture is good. Very dramatic. I am not crazy about the blown highlight here and there.
11/11/2005 12:51:29 PM
I figured to see a photo like this in the challenge,, nice job. The high lites as a little washed out but I like it all the same.
11/11/2005 11:01:50 AM
I like this, but the child seems to be the focus, and for this challenge I think the garbage should be the subject or at least as prominent as the child.
11/10/2005 10:35:07 PM
I love this. Parts of it seem overexposed, but I don't care.
11/10/2005 03:50:23 PM
Your image transcends the ordinary and makes a powerfull statement. 10
11/10/2005 01:48:46 PM
the image feels a bit overexposed, but what an awesome image! i love this capture.
11/10/2005 01:00:59 PM
i liked the idea of this, looks a bit blown out tho.
11/10/2005 04:19:11 AM
nice i like it, the color effect is cool good job!
11/09/2005 01:17:51 PM
seems a little over exposed, but a very poignant shot
11/09/2005 11:18:56 AM
Looks too over saturated or over sharpened to me. But I like the photo.
11/09/2005 09:06:43 AM
Very emotional. This should do well. Not a generic photo for this challenge.
I give you a 10.
11/09/2005 08:20:33 AM
This has met the challenge perfectly and in a moving way, well done. 10
11/09/2005 05:59:28 AM
Has the quality of Librodo--I pick this to ribbon. Definitely one of my top "pics" :)
11/09/2005 05:52:21 AM
A very powerful image, but I wish the highlights weren't blown out.
11/09/2005 04:47:50 AM
touching photo
11/09/2005 04:42:53 AM
Just a little overexposed to my taste. But lot to think about.
11/09/2005 03:12:02 AM
Great photo, a little over exposed though..
11/09/2005 12:13:16 AM
Great shot! NG look... but kind of sad. Unfortunately that's the truth in some parts of the world... 10
