Great shot, it shows that we are capable of great things here on earth but that we are also not able to get some of our children out of their poor conditions. Thanks for reminding us. Nice composition and exposition.

Hi Mojtaba,
Very sad indeed! the garbage and smoke surrounding the boy help convey your message well. Hope this photo, motivates us, or those of us who can, to help out the poor in this holiday season.
warm wishes to you, my friend!

Hello, Mujtaba. I like this picture very much, first because it reminds us that too many children live in bad conditions and then because of the way this kid is looking at you, straight in the eyes, but with an interrogative look. The smoke adds softness to the light in your picture.

Well rendered emotional shot, Mujtaba. It gives me a moment to reflect on the poverty still present in much of the world, and to have hope that some people will have a better year ahead, even if in a small way.

Hello Mujtaba,
For sure it's not a normal life. Your picture is good testimony of the stupidity and cupidity of our governments which prefer buying arms instead of feeding his children.
Best regards

Hi Mugush - sad but powerful image, the smoke really makes a special atmosphere, even if it comes from an unsavoury source,

What a beautiful boy! I know many families in the U.S. who would welcome him. I am sad to see the poverty. Thanks for sharing this important photo, straight to my favorites!

La pauvreté montre son visage ; Dieu merci, l'enfant a l'air d'être bien nourri, il a de bonnes joues.
Je trouve que la position sur la photo de cet enfant est un peu trop centré (mais ça reste un avis strictement personnel).
bonne soirée

Dear Mujtaba,
A very emotional and sad shot with great expression of human suffering, heartbreakingly enhanced by the fact that its a little kid. Composition is spot on with the smoke and rubbish, sadly, around the boy.

Thanks my friend, you create great emotion with your photos.
Chris

lewiz (1297) 2006-02-01 15:22

Absolutely stunning... the smoke, the look from this boy, the rubbish.

It really says what you wanted it to say. Very well done indeed.

A good Panflet and a artistic interesting picture at the same time.
I see your pictures for the first time and I think they have a lot of power.
Thanks for sharing and regards, Gerrit

hi mujtaba,
i went thru all your pictures. all great, they are! this particular shot made me very sad and emotional. it is, in what it depicts perfect in all honesty!! poverty is everywhere especially in the third world, where i also come from. i hope one day, instead of war and conflict, and arrogance and greed, the human race come realize that we are all one and we all should help each other rather than advocate destruction, anger or hatred.
and with regards to your postings, i salute you for a work well done! indeed, you are one of my favs. regards,
benedict

Too tragic, but marvellously captured. Hope this boy will be ok soon...

ste (866) 2007-03-25 18:29

dur de dire : quel beau cliché! sans penser à tout ce qu'elle montre; la misère peut elle être belle? non! c'est toute la complexité de la photo...ce gamin a un regard perçant, sans fard comme c'est souvent le cad dans ce "genre de situation"

brevbrev14 (140) 2007-03-28 12:00

Wow Mujtaba!
this image is absolutely wonderful!!
great expression of the boy, great atmosphere!!

the smoke, the tones, the composition!all is superb!
ciao!

Sad story and there is a child just like this in every country, 100's of them. So very sad. You've photographed him beautiufully though. Very touching. TFS

Thanks for your comments on my photo " Come for a walk with me. (4)" :o)

Those 3 things are a threat for the whole humanity, not just for the 3rd world countries. Changing the attitude of the main world economical powers will be a challenge, they can choose to find ways for solving these problems or not to do it and dye finally together with the poor ones (Only after the last tree has been cut down, only after the last river has been poisoned, only after the last fish has been caught, only then will you find that money can not be eaten, an Indian saying that I saw on a biologist emails) ...I think you know it!
Good illustration of the world we live in!
