This picture shows Shyama, a middle aged person, who has been handicapped all his life from a strong attack of polio, asking for alms from bystanders. An old lady stoops to offer Shyama a handful of changes. She would have given it to anyone on the way had Shyama not been there!

This street picture is taken on hand held Nikon D200 with a 2X Singh Ray graduated neutral density filter & a wide angle lens.
