  33. Awwh… she looks so pleasing. I was having a tense face and as soon as my eyes fell on this photo, my eyebrow frowns disappeared and a smile ran through my face in an instant. I believe that’s the magic your photography holds. Thanks in many ways Joshi :)

  56. Joshi I think you cannot get better than this. You have made Beauty in those wrinkles prominent.
    I would say this is classic photography.

    It reminded me of my granny’s innocent smile which I cherish as the most precious of my memories. my loving memories.

      1. Joshi there are hundreds of photographers in this world. I feel photography or any art form becomes special only when it makes its viewers feel for it in a very strong sense. Now I think the Indian word ‘atmasad’ ( I know you know its meaning) fits best for this feeling that is engendered when one sees a work of art that touches ( both artist and recipients of art) equally and transcends the circumference of the banal reaching the spiritual plane. This picture is for me an example of the ‘ divine art’ that is the route to redemption or moksha.

        thanks joshi for such an experience that cannot be described in words… It is sat chit Amanda for me _ the true divine bliss. that is why I could not help but comment on it. So do not thank me. It is a spontaneous expression.

        Thanks
