Very successful photograph. Thanks for sharing. But slightly manipulated I guess, right?

Manipulated as every single picture of mine: Brightness, Contrast etc :p

:(

I'm going to India in the fall and I hope that the poverty isn't going to upset me too much....

this is a very sad and powerful photograph.

May be manipulated but it's not like it hasn't happened. :(
Nice job.

What reality, and what a raw way to capture it. Wonderful photograph, even if it is painful to see.

if you go to india, get prepared to see the most shocking poverty that you will ever see in your life.
The good thing about this country is that you have photo opportunities everywhere.

It's very unsettling to know that....

I'm one of those truly very sensitive people at heart. Even in my city when I see homeless people I get upset...

I always wish I could help them all. Of course, especially in India I wont be able to help any of them and it would be dangerous to try. Thanks for letting me know. I'll have to do more research and know what I'm going to be seeing.

How do you deal with the sad things you see?
Do you have to just learn to move on from it?

Slums of South America... Africa and Asia are 3 very different kinds. The two first being most of the time dangerous (I have experienced them all), Asian slums aren't like the others!
I spent 90% of my time in the slums with the poorest people when I was in India. They won't do anything to you... They will just be happy that u actually pay them a visit! If you start thinking that it would be too "dangerous" to try... then I think it's sad. They'll enventually consider you as a simple tourist ignoring reality.
