Pity to see this entry so underrated (in my opinion). Someone mentioned the background not being inviting with the trash bin - I disagree. I think it's perfect since it adds to the story and gives a sense of where this occurs (love CAN be found anywhere, even in the back streets next to the trash cans) and it also balances the composition nicely. I think it's an incredible capture - Just not DPC friendly because there's no dramatic storm clouds or clean studio lit set ups. Beautiful candids like this unfortunately do get underrated on DPC.
What a heart warming picture - it made me smile. I love the story it tells. My guess is that you'll probably get some voters nitpicking the fact that the focus is soft, but personally I think it adds to the feel of the picture and gives it a sense of realism. Very nicely done also with the selective desaturation that highlights the subjects. I LOVE it. 10
This is a fun to look at photo. At first I wanted to say that the postcard text is too small, but it actually works better in an understated manner. The photo, while interesting, is a bit too grainy and blurry for me to be a strong image. Clever use of it though for this challenge. Hmmm. Good luck.
