Many thanks to Helen (Helenlinda) and Malcolm (Saltireblue) for their UAs on my Webb Bridge and to all those that voted/commented/clicked, most appreciated.
This is a young Nepalese girl wondering why a group of Westerners were walking through her village in the foothills of the Himalayas miles from anywhere! The thought did cross my mind as well!

An extremely hard hitting and emotive image, which certainly provides us with a huge slice of reality. The eyes in the young girls face seem to some up what I am trying to say. Certainly an image which will tug at the toughest of heart strings.
Thank you for sharing this image.
Regards Nathan
Excellent composition, love the expression captured,
Fred.
I am mad on old windows and this ranks very high if not the best I have seen. The colours and texture are out of this world.
Well...well...well done. WesternRed.
Love her expression..........well spotted.......![]()
Love your composition...........very pleasing to the eye.......![]()

Dave, a very powerful and emotional image full of life. Nice comp and nicely done. The texture of the wall and the window beautifully blends with the mood, posture and the expression of the girl. Please accept my UA.

A very well composed image Dave- she looks very comfortable there - probably a position she sits in to gaze at what is going on outside regularly.
Like your title, and although she may well not know the tune, its buzzing round my head now ![]()

Great textures and colours - but I can't work out what is top right
Helen
Excellent detail, lovely comp, expression speaks a thousand words, this capture says one, superb.
John
Composition, technique and processing perfect. great shot and well deserved awards. Regards Russell
What more can I say ,that's not been said,I love this picture and as one said it's a good one without the little girl but having her in make;s it a perfect shot

The awards say it all, this is superb. Very thoughtfully and sympathetically composed.
Moira
A professionally rendered image that has everything from pathos of the little girls situation to the strong composition and tones of the window forming a natural frame.
Add the incongruity of the electric light bulb and you have the epitomy of a thought provoking image that deserves all the accolades it will undoubtedly receive.
Ray
Can't add much to what's already been said, Dave: a wonderful candid shot that says so much about life and conditions in these high Nepalese villages.
How I envy your having been there.......I know it's wrong to feel and say such, but I can't help it.
Ronnie.
this truly deserves the award and is much better shot of a girl than those who usually get the awards.
TBH, I first thought, " oh Pronabh got an award at last!!"""
Yes Dave, I glad you got those. It was time!!!
My vote for the image and congratulations.. but if i might say i did not like the title.. it might not be your intention here, but the title is somehow ridiculing this little girl of the poorest of families.. it is amply clear that prince is a far thing.. all she must be caring about is food twice a day.. again, excuse me.
All been said Dave simply stunning photography.
Regards
Trev.
Wow! A truly stand out image Dave. Superbly framed and full of impact and emotion. No surprise this is doing so well and no hesitation in adding to the torrent of UA's. Very well done.

Fabulous work
My 24 hrs is not quite up but I will be back to give that award.
Derek
An excellent portrait, Dave, very nicely framed by that woodwork. Lovely tones and textures, and beautifully processed, well deserving of all the Awards ![]()

Dave................. this is as good a travel photography work as will be seen.
Your'e going to have to buy yourself a supersize sack for all the awards you've received for this one..here's another..I don;t think it will be the last.
Travel photography is usually the domain of "BurnBlue"....he has serious competition now..superb.
Gareth
WOW! I have never seen so many awards for the same image before, this has to be a first and very worthy if I may say so David
When you get up off the floor, you will undoubtedly realise what a gem you have here.
Congratulations Dave on the EC and all those well-deserved badges. It's a real stand out shot.
Alun
a lovely image. giving an insight to life in the Himalaya's
So natural. This image could not have been posed for.
Faboulous.
Regards.
Gavin
I really think this one is saleable for display. Magic. I could hang it up in my lounge.![]()
Well done. WesternRed.
This is simply one of the most powerful images I have ever seen on this website...it is a work of exquisite excellence - Jonathan
What a picture, it's very strong, very well shot and composed, makes you like at it again and again, fantastic.
What an amazing image. Strong and to the point. I hope her prince does arrive for her one day ![]()
You have a super portfolio here, but I was really taken by this. The textures, clarity, colours and most of all the expression on the little girls face says it all. Also a great title. A cracker!!!
A wonderful travel photograph that epzer Burnblue would be proud of. I could see this one gracing National Geographic or a similar publication
