Photographer’s Note

I was on the way back from Gangotri, the origin of holi river Ganga. It was early evening when I saw two tribal woman were caring water pot on their head. Their tents were only a few meters away. I was a bit tired and wanted a break. I asked for some water then they offered me tea also. They were Banjara Tribes who keep going all life with their cattles. They were so poor that they didn't have proper tents also. But they were so good at heart.
When I was having tea, this girl came out of the tent. It was like a lightning in the dark sky. She was totely different looking from her family. Her way of talking was very impressive. I was so sorry for her that she will never get any education and never be married in a good family.

Hello Vinod,

Touching portrait, beautiful model, but there is a sadness in her eyes, a beautiful sadness. Damn world!

Hi Vinod

That's a lovely portrait with beautiful, warm tones of colors and a good sharpness. But the hope, in her eyes, seems tainted with a bitter realism... The frontal look is very expressive and the savagery of her expression is crudely pressing on our hearts. The reflections in her eyes even give a frightening touch.
Well done!
Regards
Marine
