in my previous shot, in the right corner you can see this man. here is a close-up taken from the same place I took the yesterday pic... hard conditions of light, but I like this compo... it is taken close to a church (this is the explanation of the cross you see here)

thanks for all your critiques!

Have a good day, man.
Thank you for sharing your picture

Hello Anca.
Good candied shot.
The massage is very useful. We should make a world livable for all of us with out any difference of religion, colors or race.
Though the background is a bit over exposed but is not that much of a problem.

For me, the top moment of the scene lies with the low POV, taken at equal level with the photographed subject. If it was taken from a higher POV, it would have lacked the human touch and look as if taken from a superior position. If lower, it would give a wrong feeling bordering on pathetic. Here, it is just spot-on level, descriptive, intimate yet dignified and not intrusive. I call that compassionate approach!

Excellent capture, well seen and shot :)

Asta imi place mai mult decat cea de ieri...desi inseamna realitatea cruda, ai surprins-o perfect!
Bravo!

Sal Anca,
imi place foarte mult legatura cu poza anterioara. Ai avut o idee buna. Felicitari!

Numai bine,
Ioana

Fantastic image, Anca! You really have a talent with that type of pictures. You captured the man just at the right moment, with his eyes looking in the distance. Kudos!

Une superbe image, Anca. Tu développes tout un talent pour prendre ce genre de photos et d'établir un lien avec la personne indépendament de leurs conditions. Cela démontre une compassion et empathie très forte. Une image forte qui donne un bon témoignage documentaire des conditions de cette homme. La croix est juste à la bonne place comme si elle était là pour le protéger. Bravo!
