[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A street kid asking for money... gladly gave a pose for me... they are a group of kids who stays in the stairways of our local railway station. Many children under the age of 10 roam the streets Manila to beg for money, some of them are sent by syndicates and some really go on their own just to earn a few pesos to buy rice...

Riste.

Nice catchlights in her eyes Arman and the 2.8 aperture works a treat for these kind of street portraits..
Nice light and colour...

Sharp portrait here with a story to paint the story of this girl's life. Eyes could be sharper but this is a close up and at f/2.8 it gets tricky to keep them in perfect focus. Nice light in her eyes though and the shot radiates happiness- TFS!

cheers,

Dilshan

Hi Arman,

Excellent capture. Details superb with some great colors. A very nice portrait with a suggestive title.
Best regards,
Adrian

Good use of the shallow depth of field, nice tight framing although the eyes are only just in focus - it's sharpest on the end of the nose.

The only negative for me is the thumb in frame - would've been better without!
