I didn't vote on this challenge because for the most part, I just couldn't really appreciate a lot of it. But this one is one of the exceptions for me. One of the most moving images I have seen in a long time. Terrific presentation/processing also.
Congratulations on your red with this above average sepia. This image has untold power becayse here a universal fact of life is presented as an artistic expression. Very good work.
Wow! I'm so excited to receive the first ribbon! I went to India on a 2 wk business trip and have just got back this week. For this challenge, I only had a chance to post the photo, but had absolutely no time to participate in the voting. Thank you all for your votes and encouragement. I'm glad you could also feel the pain in this photo.
At first I thought it was a scullpture cause the head (or the sheet he has over) but of all beggars pictures in the challenge I think this is the best one, colors are sweet, but lightning is a bit dark on the beggar. So Im giving the shot a 9. Good Luck!
I'm not even voting but wanted to let you know how much I like this photo. I hope it ribbons. Not only is there physical pain from real physical injury, but the emotional pain from living such a hard life just oozes from the photo. Great job.
Dramatic. Sepia(?) works well here. Nothing to suggest to improve the shot, except maybe a little more empty space. Then again, maybe not. Might just be perfect as is. One of my favorites in this challenge.
