  37. Wonderful shot. Everything about is nice like the light in the sky, skyline. Reminds me of scenes in several movies.

  38. Wonderful, indeed. Inspires tranquility, and triggers a bit of envy –boy, I wish I was there.

  49. great shot! i like the colors..

  50. I guess many might see this is a state of loneliness (I haven’t read the comments priors to mine :P ) but I see it as a great and private moment. To clear your head from the world and it’s troubles.
    Very nicely done!

    The shoes make this shot.

  52. Ah! It is one thing to just take good-looking pictures and completely another to capture the sentiment of a 20-million population city in a single frame.

    This one is of the second kind… we so need rains now! The picture tells a story – THAT sets it apart.

    Also, very well composed :)

  53. Love this photo – the serenity, the calm, the meditative feel, and god, the chappal sandals… so quintessentially representative of a modern yet grounded India. Love it.

  54. Very nice image, for some reason it is the silhouette of the sandals that makes it for me.

  55. Beautiful composition with the skyline in the background.

  56. So true. We are all waiting :)

  57. Perfect… A great feel… nicely framed…

  58. That is a very neat picture.

  59. this is lovely! the serenity is transmitted thru the visual with the presence of the girl sitting in that pose!

  60. I can just see peace and tranquility. Well composed!!!

  61. That’s quite fine like that but just wondering if it would be better if the skyline was balancing on her head barely touching it? Or the skyline above her head all together. More I stear at it, more the city running through her head bothers me. Ok, it’s a message you want to give. And those others would be different photos all together, but still.

    That said, nothing in my current blog is ever remotely as nice as this. So who am I to say that? Said it with all do respect, I admire you as a photographer.

  62. A moment of calm in a manic city. Amazing capture. She looks like she has no problems and is completely at peace.

  63. man.. this is awesome capture.. d way she seated..adding power in picture..

  64. The photo gives me the feeling of loneliness.

  65. Absolutely stunning… awesome work!

  66. the bright colors super-imposed on the murky waters and the sky is great! superb composition! nice feelings!
