    The first of these is special Patti. I could stare at it all day...what a superb scene.

    You've captured that "decisive moment" as evidenced in the look of the young boy as he peers back at you - really touching.

    I love the line of travellers coming from the other direction and the rat's nest of ropes and netting covering the street - chaos captured!

    This would be the one I would want to frame and hang.

    Thanks Darren. Those ropes etc are actually power lines. Now you know why India has so many brown outs and other hydro issues. Frightening.

    Excellent Patti

    #1 is superb, for me - the focal point is the boys eyes

    Great images. I have been to India many times and never tire of the opportunities to capture interesting images.

    Patti what city was the pic of the boy taken in?

    Thanks folks. I'm glad you are enjoying it. The photo was tAken from a bike rickshaw in Old Delhi. No easy feat given the road conditions.
