The Girl with a Red Rose, by Shahnaz Parvin
In a photo walk with some of my friends at Keraniganj Dockyard of Old Dhaka, we met many small kids. They were returning after finishing their school. I noticed every one of them were carrying red roses, and when I asked them, how they had got it? They replied that they had bought it. All those kids with red roses in their hands were looking simply amazing. This is Rokhsana, who was following me at first, but when I wanted to take her photograph, she hid herself among others. Later I talked with her and made her comfortable and then took this photo. Seeing her own photo in the preview screen of my camera, she became very happy. You know, in this country of mine, Bangladesh, you do not need lots of things to make children happy. Just some small instances can make them really joyful.

It is all in her eyes, like the iconic ‘Afghan Girl’ by Steve McCurry.
Honored :)
Composition, emotion, color, it’s a brilliant image.
Thank you so much… :)
Amazing! From the striking black scarf, to the red rose and several shades in her eyes, created a sort of illusion.
Much appreciated :)
An amazing photo.
