Beautiful, beautiful photograph Uday–there is a real poignancy in viewing the older hands with those lovely, yet slightly spent red roses-the composition, color and processing is topnotch!
Your images are really powerful, you engage with the viewer and make us think! Here the rose, the symbol of love is juxtaposed with a faceless seller who is poverty-stricken? There’s a harsh reality out there! Haunting images…
The hands- unabashedly dark skinned, unkempt, coarse and worn from a life of toil. A life whose worth and beauty is perhaps lost upon the world. In contrast is the delicate assortment of exquisite beauty they clutch. The roses comfortably rest in that grip, almost as if they belong there. The chemistry between those coarse hands and the delicate petals speaks volumes!

I love the contrast between coarse hand used to hard work and delicate roses. Beautifully taken, Uday!
This picture is one of my favorites… everything about this picture is perfect!
Thank you for sharing!
A wonderful picture. I love the contrast between those beautiful roses and the hands marked by hard work.
I’ve stopped at this photo before but feel compelled to comment again; such powerful symbolism and irony, love this Uday!
Just so striking! I love the paradox involved here. The rugged, weathered fingers and the wilting, yet beautiful roses. Very symbolic indeed.
Wow….inviting…would you mind if I write a story on this…way inspiring….just kidding but too good
I love the deep colours and textures; also the contrast of the delicate roses and the hard life experienced by those hands.
