Miniature children playing in a drinking fountain
Anupam Pal (Kanpur, India)
Photographed December 2007, Chakdaha, India

The fountain was shot in Pennsylvania and the children (the photographer's niece and nephews) in Chakdaha, India. "The person in the background is me," says Pal. "The idea was to show the necessity of cleaner and safer water, not just for drinking but for everything." — Abigail Tucker

I remember being impressed with this image the first time I saw it in the Imaging Resources Photo of the Day Gallery. http://www.dailydigitalphoto.com/potd-images/potd/fountain%20fun%20surprise.jpg. Congratulations! Another well deserved win.
