Very nice contrast and composition, but I must say that this shot would have much more impact and appeal if we could see that man’s face
August 18, 2009 at 1:46 am
Love the treatment of weak light and decolored effect!
August 18, 2009 at 1:58 am

Good, strong shot and captures the mood of this guy.

A powerful and moving image. Like the angle with the rich looking architecture in the background. Makes for a very thought provocative composition.
August 18, 2009 at 7:40 am
Strong image with a lot of atmosphere and mood. Nice work

And some of us think we got it bad. Just wait until it comes to collecting trash to make a living. Great imagery. Keep them coming.

It is striking the contrast between the poverty on the foreground and the opulence represented by the luxuries buildings in the background. Well seen!
August 19, 2009 at 11:09 am
Excellent picture and contrast

Una fotografia que habla por si sola, llena de sentimientos… los cuales estan surgiendo dentro de mi al verla.
Buen trabajo, saludos.

a different one than your usual models but all the more very much showing another side of the real world.
August 20, 2009 at 2:33 am
Excellent treatment and capture.
August 20, 2009 at 10:06 am
I feel loneliness in this one.
August 20, 2009 at 4:23 pm
Terrific shot, the skyscrapers in the background are a perfect foil for this man who is working on the very basics of survival.
August 20, 2009 at 9:35 pm
What a daunting task. The beach looks very inhospitable at this time.
August 21, 2009 at 5:47 pm
Excellent shot, I am not sure how money he makes from this
August 21, 2009 at 7:44 pm

The image is spectacular but unfortunately portrays a sad reality
