They have the toughest job to smile in such harsh conditions is a miracle in itself
yeah!
ya.. we can read their pain behind that smiley mask…they are innocent…
:)
This was truly glorious. This woman’s presence went directly into my being. Thank you.
My birthday is on Tuesday, and this feels like a precious gift,
Blessings to you, Joshi – Debbie
Great to know that :)
Happy birthday Debbie :)
:)
I love the visual effects from this image! Stunning!
Thank you :)
This photo is a reminder of how no master how life becomes, we can always find something to smile about…
:)
matter, I mean…
Super cute! :)
:)
Great photo !
Thank you :)
Nice frame.
Thank you :)
Great picture.
Thank you :)
Stunning pic! and one of the true beauties of this pic, in my opinion, is that, you can see how hard this woman is ‘LABOURING’!! and yet, she wears that beautiful smile. How many people, who only have to get into a motorcar, drive to the office and sit behind a desk to do a measly job, EVER smile? huh! they mostly grumble!. :)
Thank you so much and agreed to you completely :)
Nice photo but not much of smile! A face reflecting business.
;)
I have seen too, that poverty does not mean that folk cannot make merry and be happy, providing they have the basics in life and love in their hearts. We all know the opposite, lots of money, all you want, yet still a great void in the soul.
Yeah, totally agreed :)
What a beautiful, detailed captured, Joshi. Look at all that salt flying about! You certainly captured the moment. Brilliant work as usual :)
Thank you so much Mabel :)
What a perfect capture of this woman’s true spirit despite circumstances – beautiful.

Great pic! you can see the joy of laboring on her face. Had the privilege of visiting one such place in Gujarat. The workers there too were humble, welcoming and happy in what they were doing.
