Took this shot from a cab while halting at a traffic signal near Sealdah, Kolkata. It shows a child carrying a basket full of "valuables" that she could retrieve from the garbage bin. Just enough time to take out my cam, change the settings and take a shot.This is the only shot i could get of this child before the traffic moved on.

Congratulations on third place, this was a moving and thoughtful image..since you were on the spot for timing, it was very well executed...keep riding those cabs!
the picture is beautiful, but i feel like it could have been processed better. i would have preferred a b&w, i think. the contrast is way too high for me, causing a lot of burning. maybe that's what you were looking for, though?
Image seems a bit overexposed. Using a neutral density filter at the time of the shot would have equalized the highlights better. Subject is wonderful, and I love the concept.
I like this, but the child seems to be the focus, and for this challenge I think the garbage should be the subject or at least as prominent as the child.
