7th Place
Hanging on
by Vikas

New Delhi

Took this shot while a bunch of kids were frolicking in a local pond due to the intense heat conditions.... he had enough of swimming and was quite tired, so hung on to the branch for a while to catch his breath whilst I clicked away. :-)

Really nice, Vikas. DOF is lovely, the water sparkles underneath the boy and yet becomes a soft swirl of color for the marjority of the background. His facial expression is joyous and he clearly connected with you as photographer. -Michael

Superb, as always, Vikas. I like the contrast between the green-ish water and the darker tones of boy's skin, his hair and the branch. I all looks so "natural"/unposed/sincere. ~jnconradie

Really nice shot Vikas, the 5D and the 70-200IS is a great combination and it is good to move away from our dogs n cats for this challenge. LOL Bob

Beautiful yet strange! :) How interesting how it seems he's almost been carved out of the tree - his hair so matches the texture of the branch. It's as if this is his birth and the tree, his mother. Incredibly interesting image! ~ Lonnit
