Only along for the ride, a photo from Himachal Pradesh, North

Photographer's Note

After the circus packs up, the tight walker ropes, pans, and rings of their acts are stacked together, hung from a rope, and the baby tops it off. The mother carries the poles, the father the other equipment. Some of the family beat drums, and the girls look pretty.

Very nice...but I have a question: why do you crop all your images so tightly? There is no need for this. I would love to see more space around the man, to get a better idea of his surroundings. Also, the boy’s feet are cut off at the bottom. Overall very nice...the child in the basket is very cute! :-)

I agree with Fil...but anyway it is a very nice shot....

Interesting picture. Good Notes.

It's a little dark on my screen, I can't make out all the facial details that I would like to see.

Ideally, I'd like this shot taken from a bit further to the left. That way one could see what's balancing the baby and there would be some distance from your subjects and the onlooker in the rear.

A tiny bit too tightly cropped, I'll go that far. Problem is, on this site you've got to crop tight to show the subject. If one could select 'Full Screen' then it would be possible to show more.

This is a lovely picture. I just saw it browsing in the father and son gallery. I ahve never seen a thing like this before.

Nice and funny pic, filled with joy of life...

For this the chubby background guy is a plus!

Quite a scene! It's curious to note that all except for the baby are looking somewhere else: now we know where the main subject is ;-)

How funny! i love the kid in the basket and the sense of humor throughout the image! It would have been better a little sharper and without the foot being cropped, but that the way it goes sometimes with spontaneous image. i love it regardless!
