Bad Day

Excellent composition. Full of rich colors and architectural forms and textures which contrast well with your subject to create an atmosphere of raw and sometimes unforgiving reality. The expression tells a story all by itself and I find myself wrapped up in his reality and it scares me. Thanks for your comments on my Swan image. Best Regards

bad is an understatement. great capture.

Thank you everyone so much for taking the time to comment :)

Wonderful portrait image. Excellent texrure. Simple and beautiful place.

A stunning portrait , Great character . Beautiful composition and colors

Great Picture! The title captures the mood of the individual his look is sad not much to look forward to, bad day! you've managed to capture the moment excellent, keep up the good work.

An interesting comp. and capture.. If it is not belong to a theatrical scene; it should be after a catastrophe.. very impressive scene.. congrats.. OB

Excellent shot Bob - an image that can speak for the person. Best regards.

Hi Bob....perfect capture...very good!!!!

Best regards, Gert Jan.

There's something very compelling about this picture. I think partly because his skin hangs in the same way the paint does. Both exhibit the same ravages of time, but in a characterful way.

perfect. especialy the colors. althought i like the colors in most of your recent picture, but in this one, the vibrant colors seem more appropriate.

This is an amazing commentary on a reality that is too often ignored, especially those afflicted by the NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) syndrome. This fellow has obviously been around the block a few times. His body shows the wear and tear that street life has to offer, and his clothing confirms the extent of his worldly possessions. The mouse under his right eye is not the result of walking into the proverbial door. Yet, his posture and his facial expression convey, to me, that this man refuses to surrender his dignity as a person, regardless of all the crap he has to endure. I am fully aware that some homeless people choose such a lifestyle. Regardless, this gives the rest of us no excuse for treating them as if they are less than human. They have names; they bleed like every one else.

 

Sorry for the lengthy diatribe, but your photograph really brought out some very strong feelings I have about homeless people. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to express them.

So many comments before me, I have nothing new to add. But for me this image works fabulously. The candid situation, the expression, the composition and the processing all are right up there!

A sad story very well captured !
Well done. Congrats !

Thanks for coming to visit my page.

Bob...Teriffic candid stree shot...I love this work...Marjorie

This is a delicious image to see. Love it Love it, Love it!. Should be on a museum wall. Bravo for a fine portrait of our urban landscape.

So much told thru his expression - a remarkable portrait. Bbest regards.

Really well done Bob. Impressive mood with just enough background to set the scene. The cardboard box is neat.

 

All the best, Bill

Excellent work. Very classical and powerful photo image,

The expression of the man excellently caught. Maybe a bad day for him but at the same time probably looking ahead of what's in store for him. One difficult moment to capture but you've done it so perfectly. Great treatment too. Congratulations and regards. Thanks for your comments to my photos. - Lester
