A beautiful smile... - 01-26-2012, 02:32 PM

Critique: CC:

Hi Everyone,

I do not usually post on the people forum as I focus more on landscape pictures. But this picture, I thought, was worthy of posting in this forum. Please feel free to provide c&c. All comments welcome. Thanks so much in advance!


Every year around the time of Christmas local communities in Peru do something very special for the not so fortunate people... People from local communities gather gifts together and then hand it over to people who can not afford them. It is an amazing gesture. On this particular morning I was out there in Cuzco town square photographing when I saw a big crowd gathered for this event. I started taking pictures of the people gathered and they did not look very happy (may be due to everyday stress). But as I was trying to focus on one person this little beautiful girl came right in front on my lens and gave me this big beautiful smile and I clicked the picture. Right at that time things started making a lot more sense to me. That smile made me realize how fortunate we are, living in the western world, and suddenly all my problems looked so small in front of the little girl who was smiling from her heart...
