Nice portrait. The looks on their face shows hope. With the support of your family you can succeed. They may be poor but they look happy. Sometime all the riches in the world can not bring about the wealth they have in the love they have for eachohter. Nice natural lighting and foucs. Nice tight frame.

Life: not so Grand
by LVicari

Nice night scene. I like the use of the buildings as leading lines into the alley. The homeless person is almost silhuetted. You can see his cart and dog next to him as he bends over to pick soemthing up. Nice play on words in the sign "Grand & Toys. You used a very wide angle in this one. There are a few things that distract me in this picture. The grate in the bottom right forground if you cropped it out it would bring my eyes closer on the scene of the man and the cart. Also the top part of the power lines and light pole could be taken out as well. It wouls still leave in the top of the loading docka nd the sign you mentioned in the name of the picture. These are my suggestions to make it a stronger picture.

Nice picture. The lighting and focus in this are great. She looks very sad and helpless. This would work in B&W as well.

Nioce colors and expression in this one. The lines of age show on her face. You can see a sense of dignaty in her. I like the way she makes eye contact with the photographer. I like the blurred backround. You can tell she is on the street which is good.

Very nice capture here. You caught a nice expression on his face. He definatly looks happy but we could be wrong here. he could be a person in need of meental help. Nice sharp focus on him the colors in the backround are nicely out of focus. Perhase if you cropped a little bit closer on the right hand side of the frame just to the lines on the building it would make for a tighter and better pictuere. I bet this would look great in B&W as well.

Carefree childhood

This is a hard life for any child. A cardboard and wooden house. It looks like it is ready to fall down in a bad storm. The garbage all around the building shows a slum for the poor. I see hope and sadness in this picture. Hope is that the young child is the future and sadness that she lives in such squalor.

Life on a river

Nice colors in this picture. Nice dov and focus. You can see by the way the house boat looks that they live a hard life on the river. Looks like they survive day to day by fishing. Nice reflection on the still waters as well.
