The Mother

[Bibhav Behera]

This is from the archives. This was shot in Valparai in 2010. I was sifting through my old images for a competition and found this. I remember having taken this to show the tiny arms grabbing on to the mother. Even though this image lacks eye contact, in my opinion it spoke as much as one with it!

The image of the tiny arms of the baby clinging to the mother sends a soothing message of affection and total dependence.Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild

Nice behavior captured. Good details. Some more space at the bottom than at the top would have been good. The green background looks nice. Thanks for sharing.
