I just love the depth of field in this.
This is timeless. About the only thing that really says this shot wasn't taken 50-60 years ago, is the hooded sweatshirt the boy is wearing. Quite the story teller you are with your camera.

you really do know how to capture life as it happens Lesley...great detail in this. That 85mm 1.8 is a superb lens. National Geographic should hire you

Dang, Lesley! My heart hurts looking at this. It's so powerful! And it makes me want to see more. It's like a Life Magazine feature where you want to read about it and see more examples.

You have to be so incredibly proud of your India work. It is beyond amazing!

update: i like the exposure a lot too. how the people stands out while the background fades into the back (they should).

The ilumination on the bucket along with the dark detail-less face of the tall figure could use some work. However just a touch, strong use of light on dark are excellent and capturing a moment in time are well done.Other possibilties i might suggest is slower shuttder speed to show more motion, i do realize that seeing this photo on the screen verse a print that your shadow detail maybe better reflected. I might also consider a straight black and white version or at least tone down the sepia effect.

Keep it up

Wow Lesley. You have certainly become a prime example of a National Geographic photographer. This image is brilliantly wonderful, sad, beautiful and ugly. You are amazing.
