Comment by Ken:
At first I dismissed this as just somebody in the dark, but realizing it's a blind beggar in the shadows gives this a deeper meaning. Excellent composition.

I wish I could see the face better. Interesting choice of composition with the dark and the light. I'm sure some people are telling you the guy should be on the rule of thirds or whatever, but I think the statement you made with the composition ala "hidden in the dark corner" is right on the money. Nice job. I first meant to give you a 6, but now that I have discovered your hidden genius in the composition I'm giving it an 8.

not enough detail on your beggar

Comment by boyd2000:
This has a sense of foreboding and hopelessness in it with the shadows, empty pathway and very old buildings. It's an emotional shot.

Beggar seems lost in the shadows.

Looks like a cool place. Great light and composition on the left side of the photo. Wish the right side, especially the blind man, had more detail and light.

On my calibrated monitor, I can barely see the beggar. Maybe selectively brighten the darkest 2/3 of the photo to show me the details?
