Cityscape 3rd place winner

Mumbai in my opinion is the city with the most extreme contrasts in the world. It is the richest city of India and on the other hand it is a city with extreme poverty. In my Mumbai Cityscapes I want to show the architecture of poverty. I combine it with people in movement. I want to show the impression that Mumbai is so crowded that you can't notice an individual face. I hope my photographs are touching the viewer.
