In many ways this is an exciting picture with visual tenseness and contained movement.The intense into the camera stare adds drama and flair as well as the crowded
feeling of arms and legs filling every space.There is also the contrast of the traditional juxtaposed with the technological modern world.Excellent.

Bonsoir Fr嶮廨ic
J'aime beaucoup le contraste de cette image cadr嶪 verticalement et ce regard bien fig� qui peut-皻re interpelle le photographe.Le m幨ange des couleurs est acide et donne beaucoup de caract鋨e � cette r嶧lisation.
Bonne soir嶪

That i-generation...
I don't know, maybe i am a bit old fashioned, or maybe i am getting old, but i can never, and will probably will never, be able to get used to them and their way of thinking... People who cannot live without their cell phones, now i-phones, always "sms"ing someone, always seeking some new uploads on facebook or twitter...
World of consumption... Fast consumption of ideas, knowledge and even friends and feelings. The world has never been changing so fastly and it grows even crazier everyday...
It is time that we need a big catastrophe to slow down. Otherwise, humanity will hit the wall with a crazy acceleration and this will end up worse.

Btw, the photo is nice, with lively Indian colors and a tight crop. I wish that nintendo wasn't there, though...

Hi Fred

Great picture, one that stands out among your recent ones (for me). Not only the topic - east vs. west is a bit easy, isn't nintendo something from the east? - BUT mainly the faces, the expressions, the humanity...
