[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I gave him some pocket change, he said "I thought I was invisible, nobody would look at me, god bless you". I said, "smile" to him and I took his picture.

Hello Robert,

You capture a nice smile.
Good compo and choice with BW. I like your way of thinking photography.
Merci!

Marc.

Great portrait, Robert! The background is very nice, split in two zones of dark and light. The smile on his face creates a different kind of portrait of a homeless. Nice job!

Hi Robert. I think he has a wonderful smile, bein a homeless man...You catched a very nice moment.

And..., here in Chile we have an actor that looks like him, you can look for him, Francisco Melo. Take a look and let me know.

Tiene nos ojos encantadores hablan por si solos, el trabajo en grises me gusta

Good natural portrait, the black and white skin tone adds mode to the photo. Cheers always.

Thnaks/Salamat,
Jeffrey

I loved the photo, but there was/is something sadistic in your request for him. My subjective feeling.

Anyway, he will keep smiling for ever, this way.
