Challenge:Poverty (Basic Editing I) Camera:Sony DSC-F717 Location: Satu Mare, Romania Date: Oct 26, 2004 Aperture: 2,5 ISO: 100 Shutter: 0,166667 Galleries:Urban, Candid Date Uploaded: Oct 21, 2004
I would have cropped the top a bit lower - nice though overall with the display of different ways to do nothing - looks like a critical look at poverty , too ; the opportunity for work i.e. cabbage is right there and not being taken - is that intentional ?
There is a lot to think about in this photograph. The family, the heritage, the future, dignity and so on. Composition could be improved and the lighting is rather flat, but should a photograph be dragged down because of that if it has so many other qualities? I don't think so. This entry makes me think, makes me want to know more about the subject and it raises questions. I have no idea what your intentions were but I feel there is a person holding the camera who has a lot to show to the rest of us.
The sleeping guy does it. I love it.
First second I thought the pic is not fair, as I know places where this view is just normal and there's nothing 'poor' about it, but then I saw the sleeping guy, and he earned you a few points :)
i love the expression of the woman on the far right, if your original is of a high enough resolution is there any chance of putting a close crop of her in your portfolio after the challenge is over?
