Description

Lost in thoughts, a poor boy was standing in front of the delipidated structure of Mughal Emperor Jahangir's Tomb near Lahore.

It was pretty dark, I had to up the ISO to 6400 to get no blur. Slight application of Topaz DeNoise on boy's face and other minor adjustments in PS CS6.



Exif: F Number: 18, Exposure Bias Value: -0.33, ExposureTime: 1/50 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 6400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 100.00 mm, Model: NIKON D7100
