Welcome to Faisalabad aka Manchester of Pakistan aka Lyallpur and city of textiles, industries are located on every inch of city even my grand father use to sale cloth in streets of Faisalabad. Unfortunately due to energy crises this city has suffered huge loss. I am trying to find opportunity for myself but discovered it is very tough for new and small player to enter in this field at this time, but lets see:D

    #1 for me too.

    The black and white treatment results in a very busy image because it brings out the detail in all the edges. My eyes won't settle down so I can see what the photo is about. Also the high contrast results in losing the limited detail in the boy's right eye. Being able to see the wonderful sparkle in both of his eyes, even though one is in shadow, adds to the photo's impact.

    Looking at the photo makes me smile!!

    Can I just tell you how much I the b&w version.
    Yes I agree, it's very busy with too much to look at, but I kind of get the sense that's what the life of the factory is like and these two kids are just bit players lost in the shuffle.

    I do love that one kid's smile though and even if you lose the glimmer in his eye in the B&W the smile comes through.

    Love it.

    I like the B&W --it is busy but I still think it conveys the joy of the boy posing for you. I also like the contrast you achieved in the B&W.

    Number one, but I'd lighten the side of his face a little! mwink.gif

    #1 for me. And I absolutely love the shot. Lots to look at including the spinning wheel and the pile of lint in the corners. Great composition. If you touch the face to lighten it (not sure I would do so), do so ever so slightly as his boyish energy makes this photo wonderful.

    1 is nice but I like the feel of 3. 3 has the green tint like florescent lights and that gives it a industrial feel.

    Great shot.
