Daily Showcase 1st Year

The lady carrying these roses was trying to sell these roses on a busy street but no one even cared to buy one.I stood there for a minute watching her say "$1 please buy one" to almost everyone passing by. A glance at her made me feel she is a beautiful cinderella on the street which no one could see.All I could make out was that those roses might be her bread and butter.But life of the street seems to be no bed of roses for her.
This was a little difficult shot as it was busy street with too many people passing by and I didn't want to distract her either with my lenses on her. I tried to go near her to buy a rose but then she was lost in the sea of people on the street.
Though I am not very satisfied with clarity of this picture ,I felt she deserves a place in my daliy showcase.

on Jun 04I don't think that the lady being in perfect focus is as important as the presence of blur in the background in contrast with the motion of the lady holding the flowers in a sea of light....

on May 12This is really lovely...funnny how sometimes a shot that is not 'classically' a good shot, but really engages us visually and in our heart. This one did for sure. Beautiful image..shame you couldn't catch up with her..Lovely shot!

on May 12Lavanya, this is a beautiful capture and your words add life to it. We never know what someone else is going through or how hard their life might be.
