Two from mosque. This is largest mosque in Pakistan and 6th largest in the world known as Shah Faisal Mosque.

The kid was very confident he saw me taking pictures and approached me and requested me to take his photo.

This was shot from almost same spot this time i turned myself towards the sunset, i think i shot 20 images and got decent human presence in only this one. People changed their walking route as they thought they could ruin my picture by passing through :rolleyes

    One more for #2, though #1 is a wonderful shot that conveys how immense this Mosque is and the beauty of it. Hopefully the young lad's foot will be fine.

    Both of these are wonderful, Awais! clap.gifclap.gif But despite what Damon saidrolleyes1.gif , #1 may just be the best image of yours I've ever seen! clap.gifclap.gif And the thing that makes it so strong is the bandaged foot and its juxtaposition with the pristine marble and the sense I have that this not the kind of place where this youngster spends 99% of his time. mwink.gif

    Both are great, my favorite is # 1, I like the sharpness of the detail in the Mosque but most of all the young boys way he is looking at you. Oh if we all could approach life with his wide eyed expectation!
    Have a great day!
