Colorful and carefree youth brigthen up the day, any day. Very cute picture.

This photograph has lot of message. Fully relaxed boys taking break from the study. Above them showing add of Milk telling HYGINICAL PURE and FRESH MILK ARE SOLD HERE. Thank you Mustafa

These 'Little Men' might one day be sitting outside the neighborhood barber or butcher shop exchanging stories about their youth. If only we could all find joy in the simple things. Just huggable!!!

A well placed photograph showing the importance of a healthy balanced requirement for a healthy life!!!!!!!!! A very well said slogan, "Health is wealth"

Love the picture of the preschool boys, the colors are beautiful also.

These realistic pictures allows me to feel their pain and joy. Each picture has its own message which is vital to the person who is looking at the pictures. For example, the picture of the baby crying, you can only imagine how scared and lonely that child might be. The crys for comfort and love. Your pictures are excellent and heart touching.

Amazing Shots. U got an Eye for these. Great Job

Looking at the photograph revives memories of our young days. No responsibilities, no worries and care free life. I would long to go there again. Well, every one has to grow........ Really nice photo. Love to be there again.....

Interesting color, appropiate lights and sharp image where the expressions rendition themselves well. Good photo.If you read the language, the purity message on the wall makes an interesting subtitle for the photograph -- given the lines are a part of the photograph, that enriches the photograph even more. The one defect is that the boys obviously realize that they are being photographed -- something which always detracts a little from a photo. But all in all I would vote for it.The synergy of the purity message with the innocence of the faces and the otherwise good color and light balance clinches it. Further, no attempt at trickery is obvious -- that is no special technique is used. So perfectly human.That is important.

These little four boys may be the ruler of the country tomorrow.It seems they are from the lower middle class but howhappy they look.Wish them good luck.

I liked the picture of the preschool boys. I wondered if they were waiting for something to happen. Or maybe something has already happened and they were told to sit down and be quiet!!!!

A Perfect photograph, choice of natural mood & environment. Might be they are waiting for healthy milk or any hope for wonderful gifts. Congratulations for this efforts. Jaffer Ali.

Innocent and relaxed young boys. Nice Job

Interesting picture, it reminds me of the time when I was a teacher.Great job and good luck.

I think its an absolutely meaningful picture that deserves alot of praise!! Great Job!!

Excellent message to bring up healthy lives. The Gujarati writing on the picture says it all: "Shuddh ane Taajun Doodh" It is a simple message, "Pure and fresh milk", but means a great deal showing the excellent photograph of healthy looking young children who have a long future ahead of them...wonderful. Husein Khimjee

Fascinating. Two boys in the picture look so very confident. The little angles are rays of hope and aspirations. They are our future. They have to be groomed lovingly so that they become productive assets in the future.Very well done, Asiya. You make all of us proud. Gazala Paul, Samerth, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India

Marvelous work. Captured some very beautiful relaxed glimpses of the boys. The photographs speak. Iqbal Baig, Ahmedabad

the first time is saw this picture i thought "why?" and "what does the writing on the wall say?". this picture is deep. why are they here? what are they waiting for? it really makes you think...kudos nice picture.

Our future at repose.

Indeed a great eye for the right moment! This is just an example of being ready for the right opportunity. The Boys look very relaxed and enjoying a "true break". Congrats, akhil. Ahmedabad, Gujarat.

very cute children. they look so good.the picture has been taken so perfactly.Amazing they look.they look stylish,very well taken photo.Exellent job. the boys are too sweet.

very genuine photography and perfect atmosphere

What a sweet photo. They capture presence and life and being. Good job Asiya!

Great picture. I love the blue and the different positions of the feet.

Excellent job! If we could all only just chill out and relax like them :)

"men are men at any age" great photo. captures a unique essence of bliss.

kids usually interact with one another. what's strikingly interesting in this photograph is that these little ones appear to have transcended the need to interact and all seem to appreciate their quiet time like older folks do. it's got character. i like.

This photo captures the ready energy of young boys and all that implies for the future. What will they be ready for? In this photo they are gorgeous youngsters framed by the trappings of society: chairs, advertisements and the recording camera. They are little gems held before an uncertain future. Photo works on so many levels. Love it. Excellent eye.

just relaying all the current comments: great picture, you really do have talent; good luck with the competition, i know who i'll be voting for!

Beautiful colors and strong feelings of anxiety radiate from each young boy. Body positions are different but radiate the same deep concern. It is a true depiction of the times we live in. Expressed by youthful innocents. This could not have been staged but was caputured. The symetry emphasises the uniqueness of each child and emphasises the similarites of expression. Give it all you have got - it's overwhelming.
