Hi Sohail. An emotionally charged photo. The composition with the low PoV accentuates the woman's determination to move on and the child's determination to hold on to mum, no matter what. A strong image. Regards. Klaudio.

Hi Sohail,
This is definately a powerful image. The wide lens used increases the dramatic situation of the children, that tries to follow his mother (I suppose so) with bare feet, while she looks to have other things in mind.
It's a moving and informative photo.
One detail could be improved though : there is a visible halo around the child's head. I think it is probably the result of a light/shadow adjustment at postprocessing that has been pushed just a little too far.
Anyway, congratulation for such a strong image.
Pascal.
