One of my recent shot. I went to a village school.

How do you like it or is there any scope to improve the composition? Which one is better, colour or B&W?

Love the shots, Indranil. I have always been partial to colour images, so for me it is the colour version that looks good. Somehow, the grittiness of the kids come through more than in the B&W version. Regarding the composition, it looks good just as it is. What kind of PP did you do on these images?

Love it. I am a sucker for colour images, so will have to say that I prefer the second one. Well seen and captured!

Wow... amazing and touching! :-) A fave for me on flickr. The composition and the detail is stunning. And to be honest, I like the color one better.

Thank you so much Stryker. Nice to hear from you. For PP I used Adobe Lightroom . I increased the clarity more, little exposure adjustment and increased the contrast. In the photoshop I highlighted eyes of those children, little brightness and contrast adjustment.
