Very good capture from the bus! Life can be hard and when seeing others lives will bring you back to the reality and makes you feel lucky for everything you have. TFS

That is an interesting scene. Poverty is always fascinating to the eye of an average revenue individual. The unknown in general is object of curiosity.You got my attention.

Composition: 4/10 (Subject positioning, crop, pov).
The three on the right side needs to be cropped out. An 8 if the bottom part wasn’t hidden by the frame.

Creativity: 8/10 (Originality, usage of imagination, thinking outside the box)

Rigor: 6/10 (Sharpness, Exposure, PP, Presentation,) An 8 if you would have used a regular frame. I totally dislike those frames. Especially the 3D. It could be fun occasionally but not to be used on a regular basis.

Exploitation of the light 8.5/10

Statement 8.5/10 (Ability of communicating an idea, a mood, a message with the image)

My humble assessment.

Cheers!

Ben.

Hi Pierre,
A nice presentation of a simple lifestyle which is no less worthy than other lifestyles.
Poberty may take away opportunities but sometimes excesses can too, in other ways.
TFS this experience of yours.
Kind regards,
Lurdes

Well, that's Cuba, some would say, but I've seen scenes from the tourbus approaching Venice, Italy from the north that didn't look much different. The shuttle bus in Honolulu going downtown from Waikiki skirts through some seedy Neighborhoods as well. We can just count our blessings, I guess....

Salut Pierre,
J'aime cette belle photo journalistique qui montre bien la face caché de Cuba que la majorité des touristes ne verrons jamais bien étendu sur leurs plages dorées.
Salutations.

the stark reality that you share with us here really brings me up short. I wonder how many tourists ignore these realities in search of the perfect holiday?
You capture is perfect and the colours and details appropriately subdued

Haaaa la condition misérable des Québécois qui se retrouvent à Cuba et qui en sont réduits à perdre leur temps sur la plage, à boire et à fumer des cigares...
Quand je pense qu'ils n'ont pas la chance d'être avec nous et de voir le froid, la glace, la neige et la slush!
On devrait leur envoyer de l'argent... C,est trop triste!
C'est une composition assez speciale de la manière que c'est encadré... Ce bleu qui me suggérait le bord de la mer au premier coup d'oeil et qui est un mur finalement!
Intéressant!

Salut Pierre

C'est une belle photo surtout considérant qu'elle a été prise de l'intérieur d'un autobus où on n'a pas le temps de cadrer à notre gout.
On t'a gardé un peu de froid et de neige pour ton retour, question de ne pas te dépayser.

Salut Pierre,
On est loin des plages dorés et de l'abondance quand on voit ça. C'est pas mal comme ça dans la pluspart des pays tropicaux mais les gens on tout de même l'air heureux. Pas mal plus que certaines personnes ici à l'heure de pointe :))) Merci de ce beau moment. À plus,
Claudine

Considering you were on a bus, this is a very good shot of Cuban life. Well done on the composition and sharpness.

Hi Pierre,
Through a bus' window...WOW! Well done on this capture. The image is brilliant with detail and colour. Although I've never been, this is what I imagined daily life in Cuba to be like. Having been there, would you recommend it to someone else?
Cheers, Todd

Me gusta el título y la foto. Realmente la otra cara de Cuba. Se observa la desesperanza en la cara del anciano.
