Hello, Janneke,
Indeed contradictions of life are very big. At one place you can see luxury, and just a few meters away - mysery.
I like your diagonal composition here. The colours also contribute to the theme (did you desaturate them or these are the original ones). Your choice of frame is also excellent - it looks as a movie film.
Regards, Evgenia

A good documentary photo! Why that blur around the subject?

Like the use of selective desaturated colour, it adds to the documentary type feel of the picture.

Janneke

Interesting shot and nice commentary showing some of the things one might not think of when they think of Paris. Nice work and good framing.

Great shot girl! Love the (4) colours! Gives the photo much more drama!! Great frame but the text could be better!

Wat een gave plaat
De diagonaal is mooi
Het leven kan een harde bank zijn
Alle groten steden hebben een op volle toerendraaiende efficiënte economie.
Dit is voor heel veel mensen niet bij te houden. Als je uit een ver onderontwikkeld land komt niet in te halen. Arm zijn in een rijk land is volgens mij erger dan in een arm land. Armoede is relatief. Dit maakt je foto los bij mij

Hi Janneke,
I love this. The composition works extremely well with that diagonal line formed by the bench. Did you use selective desaturation? It's hard to tell...
I think I prefer the version without the blur. If the rest of the photo was cluttered blur would have been good but I don't think it's needed here.
Very well done,
Jako

Hi Jan,
very journalistic.....the picture tells its own story re the poverty in Paris, you have composed the shot very well, and the detail is very good across the shot. IMO I think I might have lost the litter bin. The tree is good as it follows the line of the bench, but the bin distracts from a good composure. Just my opinion though! Great capture, well done and TFS,
John
