 Taken while on holiday in Nah Trang Vietnam. The climb to a 30 foot buddah at the top of a hill was covered with beggars, but this little girl was hard to resist.

With no access to my PC or any of the processing tools I normally have at my disposal, I am only able to do a basic crop & resise at the local internet cafe'.

Image is a very good social essay... about something. Fact is, I'm not sure what it's saying. What exactly is the mistake? In any event, it's an emotive picture from the standpoint that it made me linger and think about it. 8

Good composition and nice interesting photo, but the red basket is distracting from the girl and baby.
