Have to rush, Arindam, but wanted to comment quickly on this little turquoise gem. Excellent composition, superb colours, and a really uplifting portrait of the boy in Bangalore. A very beautiful graphic shot as well as portrait

Your are spoiling us with some outstanding shots from India, Arindam, and this is another. Blue door, blue wall, blue shirt is a bit of luck of course but your skillful management of this good fortune really paid off.
Well done!

Bonjour Arindam,
J'aime bien cette couleur bleu clair assez vive et tu as su capter le regard de ce garcon et l'expression naturel de son visage!
c'est marrant sa chemise est du meme bleu que les murs
Best regard

These are the kind of photos I enjoy- pure color and mood. He has a wonderful smile, matches the vivid tone. Great compo- the focus straight to the boy is just right, but the left half of the frame isn't dead space- its color! Good work.

A really nice and simple composition, VERY effective, please don't take the meaning of 'simple' the wrong way.. I mean it as a very high compliment. The sharpness is right on the money.

Hi Arindam,

I love watching photographers develop thir style on TE. And you are doing really well. Finding your own voice. I love the humanity of your shots. And maybe not yet, but you WILL be in the group of Maciek, Luko, Sohrab and Clodreno. You and Sandip are the guys I watching very closely.

This shot carries such a fantastic color punch and such nice lightness.

Wow ...This is lovely, a portrait in a purely graphical setting, a wonderful blue at that. Whats more he is smiling and not blue ....TFS

Wow, lucky you, turquoise color everywhere, on the wall, on the door, on the shirt, just missing on the smile ;o). It will be a green smile, instead.
Thanks, Alain -

Ther was a certain similarity with one of my shots that litterally jumped at me.
It's incredible how I think we had the same idea when we clicked the shutter... needless to say that shot speaks to me :D ...
The amazing thing is that yours is also monochrome, though in color. very well done, Arindam!

Paolo (41258) 2006-01-21 6:25

Hi Arindam, what a wonderful shot!!!
fantastic blue everywhere, a great smiling boy, perfect focus, light...great hsot!
thanks, ciao

beautiful shot. the lighting and colors are perfect. my only complaint (and I don't mean to offend) is that so many people post photos similar to this on TE. There are at least 3 other people who I thought this could be a photo from. But ignoring that fact I think it is perfect. What an amazing amount of blue. Great job! JP

Luan (12971) 2006-01-26 11:49

Yes, I know, it remeinds me a picture previously posted by Sandip. Your compo is also great, I love this blue, and the way you have framed and portrayed this nice boy.
Well done
Luan
