127 – Ganeshotsav 2009 Special – They got the look

A small cropped part of a big picture. A Ganesh Idol was taken in a traditional palki (a wooden platform kind of ride carried by people on the shoulders) and the people were moving fast to avoid the late evening rush. I was trying to capture the Ganesh Palki and some of the photos were left unfocused. Its quite a task to focus while you are walking in a crowd and trying to click a moving ride.

Incredibly in the whole picture, nothing is more focused than the eyes of these two girls as if I was clicking the picture just for them. I am not sure if they were looking at me or the idol.
