Photo of the Day | March 02 | Through the Eyes of Aidan, by Keith Riley

Taken with a Nikon D70 and 70-300mm lens, providing the lovely shallow depth of field and isolating the subject from the background. The arbitrary crop draws you into the subjects eyes, which are the main focus in the image going beyond recording likenesses and resulting in a sense of immediacy and sincerity.

An Indian woman in Delhi. Delhi, the ancient city, the land of Mogul Kings. Though it is the second-largest metropolis by population in India, but the memories of Delhi reach far, far back before the time of Mogul.
