About the Photograph:

I worked with Mansi (my daughter) after a long gap. She is now around 51/2 years old now. Now she understands my request in better way. Along with evening natural light a manual off camera flash has been bounced from wall on her left side. The red cloth around her is a the sari. Many are interested to know that what I did with her eyes? Believe me her eyes are beautiful. The bounced light from flash & bright sky above is helping to add extra shine in it.
