| Good choice for the challenge but I'm not personally fond of the post processing, though I realize you probably did it to blur the background. |

| I already voted a while ago, now I'm back for commenting. I gave this picture a 9. I think it conveys the meaning well. I often wish I was rich enough to gather these people up and create a community for them where they could try to get their self respect back and start over. My other thought is "but for the grace of God, that could be me". |

| The colours and background make this image. I like the fuzz effect. Your title is really rather good as well. Nice work, in total. Good luck! |

moving picture.
i live in TX, and in Lubbock we don't have very many, but everytime I go down to Austin I see them and can't help but feel sorry for them all.
good shot, 8. |

| for some reason, i normally have an automatic knee-jerk reactionary aversion to obviously, overtly political, morally just, message laden photos. which is odd, given the way i am politically. anyway, this, on the other hand, is unique in a number of ways. principally, you haven't just relied on your subject conveying the emotion or message (or getting the votes). your skills as a photographer/artist are evident here, as both pre and post processing is superb. composition is faultless. the post shot treatment works incredibly well, and adds sufficient interest that invites extended viewing. i love the background, the levels of noise, the playing with the dodge / burn tools. this is a great example of PS filters being used to great effect. and your subject himself is subtle to be really effective - the sign, his manner and posture; there is a warmth and a sense of reality here that you don't get from shots of the more unfortunate sections of any population. you feel sympathetic, but hopeful too... it's an excellent capture. last comment; your title. very specific, factual and not remotely condescending or patronising (which is sometimes the case with photos of similar subject matter). all in all a very likeable, moving, stirring image. 10. |
