[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Life in living color it is not.

Every single day he endures this hardship.
Every single day he awaits his daily bread.
Every single day he just exists.

If you think about it, what awaits him?
To what promise does he endure?

I have a contrast, a heart that perhaps
gives hope..the shepard in the movie
The Nativity Story, when he was asked
about his faith..he said, he hopes to see
his salvation.

And that he did, he hoped...it was enough
for the Lord to be moved and save him. That
was a beautiful and meaningful story
of love...this season remember the reason...
and its not about you.

We all needed to be saved..and just like this man,
he will.

I think the image have much potential. A different POV and a much closer shot would make it more effective. as a viewer, I am intrigued by his facial expression. I want to see the lines of experience and hardships.

Plus the fact that the window has nothing to do with the story. The story of the man's hardships can be seen in his face.

But that's just me.

TFS. =)

Very good capture Raul! Some points to consider:
- this would look more dramatic with more contrast (and probably in B/W)
- I think its more effective if you placed him more to the right of the frame.

TFS.

Hi Raul!

I agree with Eman and Allan... The idea is great but this picture has a lot of potential if you just focused on the man itself.

There's too much unwanted subjects in the picture... i.e., windows, roof, and the wider background than the subject.

Just commenting.

TFS.

Superb note! TFM (Thanks for the Message!). And TFS! :)

Hello Raul again,

This is another strong picture. I really liked your note but; I'm still wondering (even if this picture talks a lot) what is this man doing beside suffering? I don't really understand this gesture. Thanks,
Claudine
