I have no intention of disputing the selection by the judge. A judge is the undisputed ‘know all’ in any competition and his/her judgement is to be accepted without a murmur. However,having said that, I feel the judge in this competition is slightly unclear about the theme of the competition. Is ‘Home’ the theme as announced or is it ‘Village Life’, ‘Bond between mother and child’, ‘Emotions’, ‘Activities in a village’? These can be extensions of the theme but certainly not the main theme. The figures in the picture by Ed Nofri are moving out of the frame, there is no breathing space in the direction of the movement and in any pictorial competition, this image would be the first to get eliminated. In contrast,in the image by Mr. Pranab Basak, the mother is looking right with enough breathing space in that direction. That is how it should be.
