" M A G N E T ", a photo from Uttar Pradesh, North

Photographer's Note

To me India is a " Magnet " ( Like this gaze )
That's why I'am leaving on Friday and this picture is the last pix for a while.
I want to thanks many TE members for a really rich exchanges and lot of fun during the last few months.
See you all.

Very nice portait. The look on the face is very nice. Well composed.

sn00zie (2384) 2005-02-26 6:13

wow! a stunning portrait with a magnetic gaze... the depth in the picture is just perfect... and the 3 other eyes-quite a touch!

kinginexile (2598) 2005-02-27 23:47

Bon voyage Tom and vero!

I wish you (and us!) many pictures like this one, but do not forget to enjoy the journey, hands free, as life sometimes happens next to us, passing us by when we try so hard to freeze memories in a little box....

One of your best, Tom, Nat. Geo. material, if a bit lacking contest, but that's you and as Cocteau wrote: "ce que les autres te reprochent, cultive le...C'est toi-meme!"...

manny (22032) 2005-03-28 10:39

This is an amzing portrait. i like the three other kids in the bg. They provide the context.

avis2avis (4264) 2005-03-29 6:30

Visited your gallery after quite a while today to find you have added some truly amazing pics recently. This one in particular is an absolute magnet! That look you captured here just so amazing! I just kept looking at this one for a long long time. Now that I have added you to my favorites list, it should be easier to keep a watch out for your posts. :)

Keep the good stuff coming Tom.

Cheers!
Avis

I really like the colours of this picture - light is incredible, and there is something special in the air.. mood is great..
I think I would try to crop it, and even quite radically, over her head - so that picture ends somewhere above her eyes, and maybe a little bit from the right
but anyhow - very magnetizing picture, as you wrote.

manu_itu (307) 2005-06-29 1:59

Great Picture Tom. Can see the connection right inher eyes! "Magnet" . . .very true!

arindam_thokder (3987) 2005-11-28 17:56

Hello Tom,

This is one of those picture in TE I see almost everyday, one of my all time fav. Don't know if I can catch something like this masterpiece even in dream.
