Smile, by Manish Bansal(click on image to see it larger)
"Taken in Bangalore, India, with an Olympus C-760UZ camera.
"This girl belonged to a poor family of basket weavers, living on the outskirts of Bangalore. I was taking a photo of their tattered hut when she came running and stood in front of the camera. She was wearing a worn out and patched dress. As I started clicking, all the other kids joined her and I ended up taking about 100 pictures. After each shot, the kids would come running to see the photo on the camera's LCD and then running back to pose again.
"I took about 200 pictures that day but this one has stuck in my mind; that serene look, that sense of contentment. Whenever I feel low, one look at this image is enough to cheer me up."
