Excellent idea, Senthil
The innocence of childhood,
The symbols of Islam, Hinduism and Christianity come together in this boy and feel entirely natural. I think you deserve my heartiest congratulations.
Warm regards,
Manoj

Haaaa! I am glad to see you back!!! And with a so colorful and powerful picture! I love the vibrant colors, the POV is excellent, very dynamic, and the blurred background soft, in its texture like its hues, is beautiful too. The diagonal line of the flag adds even more dynamism, while the strength of the look keeps us magnetised. The juxtaposition of the signs from the different religions, is just amazing! Muslims, Hindus, and Christians, all gathered under the flag. The message is excellent and the boy is very cute. It does not matter that it is posed: the portrait is intense and has a very good and sincere mood.
Bravo, Senthil!
Best Regards
Marine

hello Senthil,

Good picture of unity. The high pov works here. As someone who is not that familiar with India, I am puzzled by the mix of religious symbols and wonder how 'staged' this image is.

Great vibrant colors, but the kid seems either unhappy or posing artificially... which in itself it the most natural things that kids do in front of a camera! :D

Namaste Senthil. glad to see that you still drop in now and then and that you continue to surprise us with your individual POV on the world. I like this earnest little fellow with all the various religious symbols and the flag of India. The elevated POV is very effective as it gives emphasis to his trusting eyes and by association, to the hopes of a peaceful future. Clever work and imaginative too. regards. Klaudio.
