Hola Elias,

Esta foto es muy interesante y tu nota la complementa muy bien. Pienso que la pobreza nunca desaparecera del mundo y esta persona es un ejemplo muy vivo de esa realidad. Cuba por desgracia, o suerte, es un pais que realmente necesita que su gente mejore sus condiciones de vida. La fot es es muy buena y real. Muestra la realidad a como es. El aviso en la calle no lo puedo leer muy bien pero pienso que es referente al trabajo que hacen en esa calle. Buena comparacion con el baston de la persona. Buen trabajo Elias.

Hola Elias:
Hoy casi publicamos a la vez...!!
Yo no estoy de acuerdo con Roberto en que no se pueda terminar con la pobreza o con otras tantas injusticias, porque por definición las cosas insostenibles no se pueden sostener.
El mundo está en nuestras manos y seguro que podemos mejorarlo cada día aunque solo sea reatratándolo en nuestras fotos...
Un saludo y buenas noches por allí!!

OK Elias, this one is not that good in my opinion. The man is too centered in the frame and you cropped it too tight on bottom. Otherwise, the DOF is acceptable and the colours good.

hello Elias, j`espère that j`ai correctly translated your note, if not the text that I t`écrit will want nothing to say, I think that this image is the quite sad reflection of our company, it there with same of people who creates their own microcosm their own currency and live from day to day, well with the variation of the laws, and your subject with the air more than to decide the expression of the face is well solidified, in a friendly way

The subject is definitly daily life with this man and this ladie, no search for the background is to give just like it is. A word about the composition, I like it and have a suggestion to improve, the lady would be better not being tight to the man and "touching" the papers he holds. In fact more distance would increase a good lecture of the whole picture and built it more dynamic. This is a detail, the composition and Cuba life are interesting

Exelente toma Elias, el poner el sujeto (el ciego) en el centro da un buen efecto aquí porque hay como una simetria central dada por la esquina de la calle. Tienes ademas un exelente Bohek bien manejado y que enfoca la vista sobre el ciego.

Bravo. Exelente nota tambien.

Hi Elias!
This is a real great photo of Cuba. Far away from the beach of Varadero or the 5* hotels, right. But this is true life, a real daily scene of the hard conditions of these people.
Well done! A really good photo and also an homage to these people.
Regards, Anabela

Hi Elias,

this doesn't work too well for me. Personally I think the man needs to be further to the left, that way he would be walking into the shot and you would've had one person to the left and one to the right of the corner of the building. Also the crop on the bottom wouldn't have been so tight. It's not all bad though, it does convey a scene of how people conduct their lives in order to make a living, so well seen my friend.

Regards

Stephen
