Re: Future Hope
This image is my favourite from the several you've posted.
Very good exposure, skin tones and separation and definition of the black/white contrasting clothing of the mother and child.
It may have been improved if it had been possible to 'isolate' the mother and child' a litle more from the background - either by composition or perhaps some degree of blurring - but I full appreciate that's often not possible with street shots.
A very appropriate title though. Future Hope indeed and a very enchanting, beautiful child. I'm fascinated by the writing on the green band on the baby's head. What does it say? I was wondering if it actually said "Future Hope".

I'd very much agree with Pol, its my favourite so far tooOriginally posted by Pol View PostThis image is my favourite from the several you've posted.

The trouble with street photography is that it is usually done at close quarters with a wide angle(ish) lens. This generally gives great depth of field, and yet as Pol suggests in this one it would be nice to isolate the subject perhaps with limited depth of field, therefore blurring the background.
Your title whilst having an optimistic feel to it, also suggests that you see a great future in the hands of the young of your country. Yet there is also a certain political feel to your title and perhaps the script on the childs headscarf (I must admit to not understanding it however). Lets agree though that all our future hopes lie with our young, and it is through understanding and working together that we will truly succeed. There now look, you have got me being profound

Re: Future Hope
@ Pol, Stephen
Thank you for the comment.
Tell the truth I did not want to go in details.
Because you asked, I have to answer you.
I took that image in the month of Muharram in Tehran, Iran. This month is a month of mourning in the whole country.
It is written on that banner, Ya Aba Abdullah Hussain (pbuh) .
Now you might ask me who was he?
Then you can read about his life here:
Who is Hussain(Peace be upon him/her) or(pbuh)?
The leader of the small band of men who were martyred in Kerbala was none other than Hussain(pbuh), the grandson of the Holy Prophet(pbuh).
With the passing away of his brother Hassan(pbuh) in 50AH, Hussain (pbuh) became the leader of the household of the Holy Prophet(pbuh. He respected the agreement of peace signed by Hassan(pbuh) and Muawiya, and, despite the urging of his followers, he did not undertake any activity that threatened the political status quo. Rather he continued with the responsibility of looking after the religious needs of the people and was recognised for his knowledge, piety and generosity. An example of the depth of his perception can be seen in his beautiful du'a (supplication) on the day of Arafat, wherein he begins by explaining the qualities of Allah, saying:
" (Oh Allah) How could an argument be given about Your Existence by a being whose total and complete existence is in need of you? When did you ever disappear so that you might need an evidence and logic to lead (the people)towards You? And when did You ever become away and distant so that your signs and effects made the people get in touch with you? Blind be the eye which does not see You (whereas) You are observing him. What did the one who missed You find? And what does the one who finds You lack? Certainly, the one who got pleased and inclined toward other than You, came to nothingness (failed)."
On the other hand, .......

My own kids wore something much simpler. Our youngest son was frequently seen wearing a t-shirt with a banner saying "Life's not easy being a kid" .
