Hi Manash,

I had liked yesterday;s composition but I like this much better. The pattern on the wall behind juxtaposed with wheel spokes and pattern on the floor in all this a figure that looks so frail and tiny in contrast.
Very well done..though I am not sure the title does full jsutice to the image.

I never feel happy about posting these pictures of the Asian poor, sleeping or begging on the street. I tend not to do it any more. I have a feeling that it is somehow exploiting them or sensationalizing them for Westerners to pity. I feel, it, sort of, exploits their vulnerability and robs them of their dignity. However, I understand that some may feel that, since they are a part of the world, they should be shown. It's a difficulty moral issue, with two points of view. Anyway, you have all he element of a god picture here. The wonderfully rich texture of the wall, the presentation of your subject and a composition, nicely balanced by the wheel, The different elements have been organized perfectly and the whole picture is sharp and perfectly exposed.Regards kevin

I bet you, he is getting a far more peaceful sleep than a rich stockbroken in his 1000$ bed. Great capture.Adding the noise subject on the left side was a great idea too, although I think some may say it was not required at all.

Everything is perfect on this picture. Colors are amazing, POV is great, composition fantastic.. And even though I have seen a lot of poverty, but I just cannot help but feel sad when I look at this man. Though somehow, like you talked in your reply to Kevin, he would probably find it funny and even strange.

One of my favorite picture by far.

Hello Manash. An impressing photo. The wheel symbolizes the sun AND the time. A photographic document worth seeing. Best regards, Wolfgang.
