Thanks Lonnit, appreciate your comments. The way this little girl had her Chunni wrapped around her drew me towards her and she smiled ever so coyly when I took her shot. To give a little background, this was taken on the steps leading up to the Grand Mosque in New Delhi and she was one of the street kids hanging around there with her kid brother. I was just sitting on the steps outside, waiting for the prayers to end so that I could go inside the mosque (non muslims not allowed in during prayers) and just happened to spot her and took this shot.

Thanks Mystery Person, thanks for looking.

Thanks Wonderstruck, really appreciate it and you are right, she was one of the street kids. :-)

Cheers. Vikas

Another example of Vikas' magic touch in converting a Street Urchin into a Prince.

True Vikas form. Wonderful composition and I love the diagonal of the materail, from where it drapes in the lower right, up through the angled ovate opening surrounding the face. Lovely. ~ Lonnit
