Hi John,
The smile is so perfect , it touches the heart. A million dollar shot for immortalising the litle kid.
Yes, I repeat its an incredible smile and a wonderful composition......but with an irony.
I have an objection......"This one's for Dennis (Dpbours) because not all children in third world countries are miserable".
Logically speaking ....this statement means majority of the children in the third world countries live a life of misery.
Its not true. What prompted you to conclude this? I don't know.
Please go through a few lines underneath.....

If you knew a woman who was pregnant, who had 8 kids already, three who
were deaf, two who were blind, one mentally retarded, and she had syphilis,
would
you recommend that she have an abortion?

Read the next question before looking at the answer for this one.

Question 2:

It is time to elect a new world leader, and only your vote counts.
Here are the facts about the three leading candidates.

Candidate A - Associates with crooked politicians, and consults with
astrologists. He's had two Mistresses. He also chain smokes and drinks 8
to 10
martinis a day.

Candidate B - He was kicked out of office twice, sleeps until noon, used
opium
in college and drinks a quart of whiskey every evening.

Candidate C - He is a decorated war hero. He's a vegetarian, doesn't
smoke,
drinks an occasional beer and never cheated on his wife.

Which of these candidates would be your choice?
Decide first, no peeking, and then scroll down for the answer.





....
.....
.......
........

~~~~~ Candidate A is Franklin D. Roosevelt.
~~~~~ Candidate B is Winston Churchill.
""""" Candidate C is Adolph Hitler.
...
...
...
And, by the way, the answer to the abortion question:
If you said yes, you've just killed """"""""""Beethoven""""""""""""""

So nothing wrong with the shot.....nothing wrong with the shots......but don't kill Beethoven.

Kind Regards,
Rajeev Moudgil

Wonderful capture, she was obviously very happy to be photographed but you made the most of the opportunity with a first class shot. Well done.

Hi John,

Haha, great note going with it! Like the part of the ice and the daily training. The dedication already at this age. Wonderful!

Oh, I now only get to the part of ... me! Ohw, that is really nice of you and very much appreciated. Well, there are thousands of people doing that. And you don't need to go out in the world to do it. There are so many people doing it every day in their own neighbourhood at home...

Haha, also just read the note of Rajeev. :-) I like my piece of meat, so I would perhaps not have voted for the vegetarian and I don't like cheaters. I'm more of a whiskey person - and I already knew that had to be Churchill, reading the description :-).
But I would not rate India as a development country. More as a Middle Developed Country in development. Especially the second part is important - sustainable development. And next to that, I post my pictures to show the harsh life, but not pity children. I rather show their strength! As you do in this wonderful shot!

Thanks!
Greetings, Dennis

Hello John,
This picture is one of the best expressions on TE. You have captured it on a great moment, it's an ironic smiley from the girl that so many children still living on a such place like that. Great work and tfs

Hi John,
Only able to see her teeth but not able to see her eyes, she is smiling, happy and shy. Perfect skill to made the water surface smooth like a fabric, good contrast of vivid color, completed with the goods carry with her wooden boat.

Hello John,

At this point I really do look out for a shot of yours..may be I dont write on them but i do see them as in my eyes u are noticed..!!

Now, I saw this image twice..!! once before reading the fellow members comments and the following threads and now after i read them in full..!!

And the immediate expression that comes to my mind and soul and the most immediate expression of mine while just watching the pic downloading was a ..W O W..!!!!

Who cares.......!!!!!
The smile takes it all and explains everything beyond anything..I loved Rajeev,s comment..a lot to laern from it and also the beautifully knitten words of Angshuman..but just looking at it now after having read them...its like.. the expression from this cute little baby is Oh Ho..!!!!!! what have I done..!! just see it again and feel/hear her saying that..!!

Isnt she so cute..???
Isnt she so pure..??
Isnt she so beautiful..??
Isnt she so innocent..??

Do you see god in her..??? i am taking the perspective a little further now..!! cud you see the god residing in her..!! I cud see it here in your photograph..telling you very frankly..!!! This is one of the purest smile i have seen in TE and thanks to you for this..!!

I would just talk about myself and would not relate anything to the critiques written by any other member..!! but seeing her in this shot i can see god and purity at its best presented by you in the form of a beautiful cute little baby..who is definitely struggling but at the same time spreading love and laughter thru this beautiful smile of hers...and U have been the lucky guy to get it..!!!

thanks a lot..!!! for this treat.. Dear John..!!!

Deep Regards,

Indro

Beautiful colors and expression.
Contrast of clear water, as it seems here and shabby girl in good mood is very captive.
TFS.
Note is also captive.

Strikingly beautiful shot!
