    Nicely captured and processed, at first glance the image is a bit eerie and then it evokes sadness, finally beauty of subject.

    Thank you Nanda! vaez...and John!

    I can see what you mean but my recollection is that she wasn't Indian.

    This was taken in a very rich town in Scotland ..there were beggars in the doorways...news of wars and terrorist attacks..in My 'so called civilised country ..there are food banks...

    I feel deep shame.

    As anyone with a heart must. But you have a talent that allows the rest of us to see what we might miss. Please continue to be our mirror

    Re: Don't look away...don't pass by!

    I don't know what to say that hasn't been already said yet in all the comments here. Sadness in one's situation in a country is getting to be the new 'normal' but we do not need to accept it in silence because as has been already said "silence is consent.'

    This is a very emotional shot, Sharon. I am going back to bed. I hope I do not have a nightmare because of looking at this one...help keep me sane.
