Hi Wolfgang, it's a shot I really like this one. I like these urban contrasts given by advertisings and daily life, just like this. Very well done!
Greetings,

Hi Wolfgang

I appreciate the composition here, with the woman that seems to keep a protective eye on the unfortunate man seated on the street. The both have their heads turned in the same direction, so the symbiosis is even stronger. Excellent timing. I have to say that I prefer the B & W version.
Regards
Marine

Hello Wolfgang,
A very good daily life portrait that says everything about modern day living and the contrasts it throws up. Nothing else to be said.

Hallo Wolfgang,

das ist wieder ein echter "Schanze", klasse gesehen und sehr gut umgesetzt (drei Dimensionen hintereinander)..mir gefallen beide Versionen sehr gut.. (übrigens hast Du dich sehr schön mit ins Bild eingefügt!!)
Mein Kompliment zu dieser tollen Aufnahme..

viele Grüße Bernd

Hallo Wolfgang!
Ich hätte mich nicht getraut, dieses etwas heikle Foto aufzunehmen - aber umso eindrucksvoller und auch berührender finde ich Dein Bild! Ich musste sogar lächeln ... ein wirklich nicht alltägliches Foto - mit Fotograf!
Grüße aus Schneematsch und Ragen!

hi wolfgang
two worlds in confrontation, in one hand, beauty, Youth and freshness, and in the other hand, poverty and decay.

well seen

Hi Wolfgang.
fantastic shot! What a sublime juxtaposition of the two subjects. I'm quite satisfied with the colour version of this. It's a great presentation of glamour and character. But who is that shadowy man in the glass, presumably a reflection? Anyway, great work.
Regards,
Andrew

Incredible set of elements. Great observation.

Hi Wolfagang,
Great shot of daily life. I like how the different ways of life of the beggar and the girl have been combined to one single shot.
I like both versions, but I would prefer the B&W.

Hello Wolfgang,

A very strong image indeed. It really seems that she is touching him. The colors also combine perfectly. They seem to be saturated.... a good choice in my opinion. I believe color works better here than b&w, though your workshop is also very good. Thanks.

Regards
Nuno

interesting play of scales and reflections, original picture

Hello Wolfgang,
excellent capture! Just great! the right timing, very good POV. I can't say much about it - just that I like it very much!
Oh yes, I prefer the colour version to the WS b&w variant!
But you also captured yourself - there is your reflection in the glass... ? :)
Best regards,
Elena

Hallo Wolfgang!
For passing by,you had a perfect timing and a good eye to see this scene.Das nenne ich FOTOGraphie.
Aber Schlechtes productplacement,die Biermarke ist nicht erkennbar,so findest Du keinen sponsor.....
Im Ernst,Ein tolles Foto aus den Strassen Deiner Stadt.
Gruß,Leo

barrufeto_77 (25619) 2009-02-23 14:17

Hi Wolfgang.

I like the contrast of the man in the street, dirty and poor with the beautiful woman.

Well done!

trekks (14262) 2009-02-23 18:35

hi Wolfgang

I like the comparison of the man and the girl and the best part is the photographer's reflection on the glass. Can I call it beauty and the beast? Good focus and exposure. A great shot of city life, especially the position that the man was sitting as to the poster girl.

tfs, bill

Ciao Wolfgang,
I like this sort of picture giving contrast between virtual messages and reality. Asking the man to look at the right top corner should have been a masterpiece..
Technically very good, sharp and light amd colors, just a little bit of strange saturation on the hand.
Excellent work.
Benedetto

Waylim (10717) 2009-02-24 9:19

Walfgang,
Love the the multiple layer of elements here. I like the illusion of scenery, the man sitting with the woman, the photographer in the reflection, really great POV, I absolutely love it. One of my favorites from your gallery. My complements and admiration. I like the workshop too, but I think the color has stronger impression.

edytungkal (4517) 2009-02-25 6:39

What a beautiful combination but indeed they look ironic, isn't it!! And your reflection just make it more interesting, it looks on the best situation. Really like it...

Thanks!

Hallo Wolfgang!
Eine absolute Spitzenaufnahme, genial die Spiegelung im schaufenster!!!
Viele Grüsse

tomescuc (2837) 2009-02-26 22:37

Great observation of this contrast. And I like your reflection as the silent witness.
cheers,
Cristian

ophelcia (5297) 2009-02-27 11:16

I really like your work with posters in the background and real people at the front, even the photographer's reflection in the window is great here:)

Ultrablue (553) 2009-03-01 7:37

Hi Wolfgang!
Very beautiful shot. I love this contrast between these two very different kinds of person. And I also like the look of the girl that seems to be protective.

Regards
Elena

Hello Wolfgang
A man asking for alms.
An unlikely almost biblical "Samaritan."

Congratulations

CLODO (4078) 2009-03-01 9:01

Hi Wolfgang
impressive shot! and inimaginable position of the beggar in font of this advertissement. You focused well, including the beer can, without looking at the viewfinder (we can discover your reflection)

stego (22340) 2009-03-04 7:06

Hallo Wolfgang,
A very interesting game of looks, where the photographer is also a visible player - you were very wise to hand the camera like that, I didn't notice it was you until I remember that you had to be there. The relaxed, young appeal of the photo on the window contrasts much with the beggar. A metaphor of our world?
Grüß, José.

adramad (3330) 2009-03-04 12:53

Hello Wolfgang
Impressive picture. Excellently captured and high definition
Well done
Regard.

kschanna (2604) 2009-03-07 19:50

You've captured yourself as well. Its good you didnt get rid of the reflection...at least we know what you look like now :)

I like how the girl in the poster is almost looking at the man.

Thanks for sharing
Kamran

Glint (3029) 2009-03-15 2:48

hello Wolfgang,
this a strong image. The contrast is stark and gives pause for thought.
I can see your reflection too....an extra bonus has you have no picture in your profile.
Well seen!
Bev

Bruno40 (6440) 2009-03-15 6:48

Hi Wolfgang,
I like how you, accidentally though, combined in one frame three subjects that give a story line for this photo: the beggar, the model, and you. Well seen and captured.
Very well done
Jorge

Ninello52 (3224) 2009-03-18 11:40

Ciao Wolfgang
Piacevole e ben fatta questa immaggine "catturata" per strada! Emblematici i due soggetti così contrastanti fra di loro,good composition!
Saluti, Nino.

tritone (82) 2009-03-18 14:23

Hi Wolfang
A photo which creates strong sentiments and says a lot to everyone...more than 1000 words. With such fotos you become an eyewitness in our everyday life..

Best regards
George

Edgar_Delacroix (551) 2009-03-20 11:15

Very great picture that i'll put right away in my favorites. It's great to see you in the reflexion of the window... it's like a subliminal guest apperance in your own picture.

Cloud__Warrior (291) 2009-03-22 5:52

Hi Wolfgang

Disturbing study of urban life in the west. Like how you have captured the different points of view in both the reflection and and the advertisement watching the homeless person.

Regards
Andy

ilvao (2248) 2009-04-09 11:33

Hi Wolfgang,

You caught 3 faces or more..
THIS IS MAGICLY DONE
She really seems to look at him
The third one look at you ?!
All the best
Olivier

diegomach (467) 2009-04-23 19:04

Wolfgang tu galería es realmente buena, cada fotografía dice mucho, me encanta como captas los momentos mas simples de la vida, dandoles un realse que detiene al espectador. En esta fotogafía en formato vertical me llamo mucho la atención la silueta del tercer hombre reflejado mirando atentamente la composición, seguramente esres tu.
un abrazo
Diego

fserajian (4451) 2009-05-27 12:51

Hi Wolfgang,

Well spotted, the detail is very good... a well composed shot. TFS
