[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
As regards the celebrated ''struggle for life,'' it seems to me for the present to have been rather asserted than proved. It does occur, but as the exception; the general aspect of life is not hunger and distress, but rather wealth, luxury, even absurd prodigality -- where there is a struggle it is a struggle for power.

For those who helped in learning.

A man from Old Delhi, captured in colored and converted in to BW.
Hope you'll like it.

regards
Manuj Mehta

You've captured his expression well Manuj - he doesn't look happy and the B&W emphasizes this..

Nice compo by 1/3rds and good focus on his face with a blurred BG.

Cheers
David

Hi Manuj,
How are you my friend? Nice work with this portrait, you've composed it very well. Another very suitable B&W conversion too. He looks to be in deep thought. Well seen.

A rather distressed aspect on the man's face!

Nice grey tones and contrasts.

Namaste Manuj

A superb b&w portrait, with excellent use of a shallow dof, & a good tonal range. Great sharpness & mood. He looks slightly worried or troubled. Tfs!

Excellent captured faces... Nice portrait.

Hello Manuj! Good title, very good portrait. Original work in B&W. Well done!

Hello, Manuj -
Moving candid portrait of this man with the downcast and disturbed expression. Your images reveal something of the soul of your subjects -- this is the mark of a great portrait. Sharp details of his face, particularly around the eyes and forehead which carry most of his emotion. Great choice of b&w. Well done, my friend.

Hello Manuj,
I like the deep expression on his face. You have excellently captured him unaware. The story of 'struggle for life' is written in this brilliant portrait.
Great work!
