I just love this photo. I can't stop looking at it.

The girl has a wonderful, genuine smile with a little mischief in her eyes.

And the colors make the photo extremely interesting both visually, and in terms of an imagined scenario.

Really outstanding.

Amazing picture. Still able to surprise us after being all over Flickr. She looks likes she accomplished what she had to, and she seems so prooud of it.

wanderinghome says:

Hel Des- You're right on the money! Against all my protestations, (completely out of concern for my camera, and not out of a lack of a sense of fun), and after chasing me for a few minutes, she was able to pour Holi powder DOWN my three layers of shirts, staining me to the core!

Catlett- You're a first time re-commenter for me, (that I'm aware of) and I just wanted to tell you that I appreciate it a lot. Your enthusiasm is infectious and makes me want to shoot more, and upload more from this last trip that are still sitting in my computer, lonely as hell! Elijah

You have some of the best portraits of children -- and you obviously know how to establish a rapport with them. Could you please post this and some of your other pictures of Indian girls and women at www.flickr.com/groups/50_million_missing/ a site that intends to raise awarness of the extent of female genocide in India.

Hi there!

I am writing on behalf of my colleague Yogita, who designs a style magazine called HAIR. We have a monthly issue that goes along with the magazine called Beauty & Skincare.

We are looking for images to illustrate an article on skincare post the Holi festivities. I was wondering if you could share this image with us for our publication.

Do revert at the earliest.

Thanks and regards,
