[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Here another photo that show's the giant contrast of social levels. When i look at this photo and i see the misery on the background and i see a giant advertisement to a luxury vehicle in the the foreground, the only thing i can think is: "Hilariant"!!! In this country majority of people is fighting to survive day after day, after such a big history of devastation, but in the meanwhile the evidence of the "rich" people becomes shocking... I didn't manage to work the sky in a way that didn't looked so bright. On this day the sky was very strange and lot's of photos are strange cause they got very bright skyes cause of clouds...

You are right there is a bit of a problem with the sky but the contrast you show is a reaally good and interesting one and unfortunately on the increase in most of the poor parts of the world
