Help Me Please!

I wouldn't accept the HDR looking effect on this one Bob for I know the usual technical quality of non manipulated kind which I've seen so far from you! Cheers!

I agree with Pierre.

Nevertheless, well seen and composed.

Congrats !

Hello Bob,

As usual a great picture. PN is pushing us a bit to give useful comments other that great, excellent, etc. The pole in my opinion takes away some strength of the picture.

A beautiful shot with a nice title, Bob!

Very good street capture Bob. BR,vf

Very strong street capture Bob, well done.

Interesting and well seen,best regards.

Here I'm going to have to disagree with most of my fellow commenters. I don't think  the composition and the extensive post production work  really fit the theme, softening much of the poignancy of the moment and giving him the feeling of an character in a frieze. The scene is tragic but the presentation, carefully balanced as it is, rather overwhelms the subject matter and instead emphasizes  compositional aspects. I have greatly admired your work and this is a rare picture that struck me wrong.

Wonderful shot, Bob...excellent color treatment, which jels well with the mood...my best

Perfect edition work, Bob ... well done !. Regards.

A beautiful piece of streetphotography. A good choice for the low saturation. cheers, Hans
