portraits poor man

---

I really like how you can see the dirt on his hands, but he looks so happy, as if being poor doesn't matter, and he has figured out what really matters, but then again when I look at it, I think maybe he is doing a "please don't shoot" smile with hands raised to show his innocence...either way it looks great, and I like how you separated him from the background with you shallow DOF. I always wonder when I see these type of photographs how you get the homeless people to let you photograph them, do you pay them, or just ask?

i am always smiling, thats make them more courageous, not paying, somethimes asking...

i'm sure he is the war veteran...

Good capture! Nicely framed. 7/6

Great Color, Great Light and Great Old Man Style!
