Your subject is the blind man, yet all the light in this image leads the eye to the other side of the picture, the beautiful texture on the stone street, the light beyond the wall and into the doorway. It's almost like you have two pictures in one here - the beggar, and the play of light - but together, at least to me, it is too much. I do love that texture on the street!

Ive looked at this shot a few times now... and am not sure how to comment. I really like the beggar himself, and how the light falls on him. However, with the brightness on the top left, i find that it is competing for attention.

I can't see enough of him to find out what he's holding and it frustrates me a bit.

Not voting yet.

I like the deep DOF to minimize the subject's role in this image. The light on him is effective but I wonder if the bright area on the left is just too eye drawing.

Comment by fubu2:
The bright wall behind is too distracting and pulls your eye away from what I assume to be the main subject here.

I like this shot, but I would like to see the guy a little better.

i might have cropped this down to avoid having the bright sunlight in the same photo as the shadowy beggar. my eye is attracted to the sun, and i hardly notice the man. great texture throughout the photo, the cobblestone road and the stone wall add a feeling of rough and hard life
