W/NW: Street children

[francisco_bal1]

My Ash wednesday photo, after walking around at the vicinity of

Quiapo Church, Manila I saw this abandon child on the side of

the plaza square waiting for someone who could share

something<div></div>

I've clicked back to this photo 3 times. Powerful, and very sad.

The eyes are just unreal, that's an amazing picture and incredibly sad.

This is a good shot Gerald if I may say.

 

I like it centered as it is, and the strong perspectiveof the construction poles leading you to the child in the center..

 

As a thought, perhaps it would have been more successful if you used this strong perspective of the poles backing up a bit more perhaps placing the child nearer the end as one's eyes automatically follow the poles as soon as you vbiew this shot and would have led you to the child in possibly a more interesting manner...playing on the perspective of the shot?

 

 

or maybe not...Just a thought.

 

I like it though and wanted to say so.

 

 

PS: I am not talking about Polish people 8^)

Sad old world really. Well seen and taken.

Francisco: Very powerful image indeed. The short description really enforced the power in the image as well.<div></div>

hmmm....<div></div>

[jim_mcbride]

to John LoPinto: perhaps we could introduce you to the Olympus forum on Photo.net.

[michael s.]

That's worth a chuckle, Jim.

 

But John's in exactly the right place, and if you take a peek behind those links, you'll notice he's posted 2 very handsome photos, both very much in the 'rangefinder style.' Well done.

Jim McB: I am a proud contributor to the Olympus Forum. If I have an Olympus picture and I want to sart a thread; that's where I post. Take a gander over and you'll see. The last one could have easily started a thread here.

 

But the parameters here are not so narrow. See my response to you in the thread entitled "mannikins".

 

Until you have the power to change the rules here you may need to bite your lip and suffer in silence.

great diplomacy John :-)

Touching photo, Francisco.

 

This is a kid at the main shrine in Ankor Wat. Not exactly a street kid but his/her condition is not exactly great either. But such innocence, my heart goes out.<div></div>
