Ciekawi mnie dlaczego nie jestes kompletnie zadowolony z tego zdjecia, ja uwazam ze jest fantastyczne. Postac tego czlowieka jest tutaj najwazniejsza, ok nie jest bardzo wyrazny ale nie uwazam zeby to byl problem, najwazniejsze ze wydlada jakby nigdy stamtad nie wychadzil. Figura jego jest "obramowana" kablami, do tego obskurny budynek i brak kolorow dodaja charakteru.
WG mnie bardzo dobre zdjecie.

I really like this photo. The grain is harsh that lends itself to the feeling of dirt and grime. The subject in the window looks grumpy and depressed in keeping with the texture and tonal qualities of the wall. I know that poland is a very beautiful place but, the aspect or theme that you show would frighten the life out of the Tourism Companies. The darker side of life is far more interesting than pretty flowers and bright freshly painted buildings with people wearing designer labels. This image, as with many of yours, is truly stunning. In a fraction of a second you have captured a mood here that would take hours if not days to write down on paper. You have a rare vision indeed. Thanks for sharing. Full marks and a hit on my favourites!

The granularity of the photo only makes the message in the title more powerful, as it obscures the resident inside and suggests the wide gap in living conditions that is something to note, especially when situated across from the Town Hall.
