Hello Philip

Watching through your gallery,this is your first people daily life photograph,between your many beautiful landscapes.
You pointed out in your note "deep bow for people with color life".It`s reality and things,the sad ones,must be shown,not only the good and beautiful sceneries about his country.We will find poor people everywhere,all over the world,they were and will be forever."Sad,but true".
We all are sensitive in front of such scenes,in some ways.Unfortunately,only passing by,generally speaking.
Your photograph changed my mood.

My kind regards

PS:Don`t forget to watch the Grand Prix ;-).

Hi Philip,

Situation which one finds unfortunately everywhere. The title is evocative. Framing shows well people who seem to pass beside the individual without paying attention to it. Hard and sad truth of the life.

With all my friendships and with soon,

Jean-Charles

This shot is like a blow. You have captured a sad moment of man's extrem poverty.

Hello Philip, I'm not used to see city scenes by you but you managed to capture this one perfectly depicting a rude reality that we see regularly arround us in the big cities.
Best regards,
Kostas.

It is a special shot Philip.
the shot is nice, a shot with a story I think.., the pov is good and orginal, I think that black and white was also an option for the good art shot here, good photojob, have a nice evening.

Quite an impact it makes this image. I think you did a very good job with the composition showing only the feet of the passers-by. A daily scene here in Brussels...more and more. Some of them are not honest, some are...Well done in any case Philip!

I also think that a strong b/w could have worked. Here, the choice of the title is excellent.
TFS, Regards

Hello Philip,

Sad story, real life. You saw the scene very well while part of it in color while part of it just like B&W. An excellent shoot. Congratulations.

Best Regards,

Hi Philip
A usual yet disheartening view of the urban centers of the destitute a slap in the face of our social system that allows such things to happen
Well done

Not pretty, but pretty effective, a different shot from you, maybe a B&W conversion would make it even more dramatic.
