This was end of the day for this guy and his family. He was pulling this cart to where they had collected anything they could sell for a penny to buy food and survive..

Hope you like..

Skye

The magic of the picture came from the black & white foreground, leading toward a faded blue background: it interprets to me his destiny changing from darkness to loss.

I wish one day he finds a proper job, and he can go home by the evening telling his family, "today is my last day working with Stung Meanchey Corporation".

Thank you Skye. Not only I like the capture, but I also admire it.

I realy like the shoot, beautiful work!I can feel the end of long long day of work and the very hard life of your subject. Very well done!

It's surprising to see you didn't get more points for this one. IMO, it's one of the best posted yesterday. You are very good to play in monochormatic environment. Of course, it's less attractive than a yellow house in India from a tumbnail but way harder to do. I really appreciate your work. TFS.

Hi Skye
great shot, composed with cure. I like the empty space in the foreground to underline the departure of the guy with the cart towards the end of the day that is in smoke. Is also hard to see that there are no colours at all and that all is covered with this gray dust.

i missed this one, maybe cos thumbnail isnt so attractive, but photo itself works strongest of all yours from this place

Astonishing. I'm so impressed by your use of wide angle.

Hi skye
Another great report picture. The atmosphere
is really interesting with this mist. The
composition is beautiful too with the main
subject in the upper part and that gives a
good perspective. Well done!
Regards
Quentin

the picture itself is beautiful with the daily life activities and the smoke fills the scene.
But the story your picture expresses is even more valuable great capture skye
