    I love this image Akshay, if only for the half-beheaded man on the right wala pipe. The man sitting on the right pipe ekdum peeche and the kid running in the foreground is beautiful.

    Encore une image forte témoignant de ces conditions de vie... que je ne sais même pas qualifier...

    Interesting social commentary here

    Love the slow transition from light to dark as the pipes stretch beyond the frame. Something alluring about the image, maybe the hopelessness of the situation. Amazing pic.

    nice - human looks more like a bird with tiny fine bones.

    Superb photo, the scale of the pipes dwarfing the main character.

    Most people in the West haven't a clue about those living conditions. Mind you, the rich and well off middle class of India don't either! You should post this in a group called "See the real India"! There are many different Indias, but this one shouldn't be forgotten!

    Remarkable image!
