Hi David

Great composition this one. I like the colors, too.

Very well done

Nice picture.
I like the compo but I think that to get details with the man you had to focus on him and since there must have been a sunny day it results with overexposed areas (right top).
Anyway I like it

Excellent reproduction of the real colors in the south, the clear colors, a blinding sun not only for the camera but also for your own eyes in reality and the dark almost black people. I know along rules the intolerance towards over- and underexposing, but how else to show reality as it is. Otherwise you have to take 3 photos (+ over/under exp) and compile them together, a way to translate this to the viewer.

It's a sad and common sight unfortunately. There's a suggestion that people are walking past but the fact that we can't see them makes this appealingly mysterious. Society as a shadow...

Sujet grave qui aurait peut-être mérité un cadrage plus spécifique. L'environnement prend trop d'importance (les lignes rouges et blanches ainsi que les boiseries bleues à l'arrière plan. La luminosité et les couleurs sont donc très biens gérées. Bravo pour ce partage David.
