The Contrasts of Life, a photo from Sofia City, West

Photographer's Note

There are moments that speak by themselves. The life has resistances that demonstrate to their cruelty and injustice. There are people who psychologically fall during their existence in front the passive glance of which they have better luck. Image taken in Sofia (Bulgaria) while it walked by the fashionable zone of stores.

Good observation! Life is not made of fairness. At least his little dog is there to provide for company and friendship. By the way, lokks like the manequin is calling the dog. Great capture!

Although I like the black and white workshop by Simon, I hear your message loud and clear. The picture is just as effective in colour I feel. This image communicates your thoughts without any introduction whatsoever.

Yes, the dog just tops it off.

it is a very jornalistic photo , it cries out "what is the purpose of the human existence" , i may say it is an existencially photo !!!

This is a great capture. It is one of those moments which makes you think about how life could be cruel to some people as well as it could be fortunate to the others. It is good that at least he has that little puppy for company. Again, great photograph...

Strong photo. It tells us more than any other. Almost symbolic. Fresh observation. Keep on taking. Regards, Karl.

wow, nice and well-thought compo. The colors could be a little more intense, but I had to write a note for the compo.
Beautiful

Great eye to catch this biting scene! I like the contrast between the man and the models, which almost appear to be talking to him. Great work!

yes, I have seen this man every morning when I went to work. sometimes I gave him money, sometimes i felt sorry for him, at the end i just accepted him as a part of the street

I know him too.This is the man with the dogs.
What a sad documentary shot.Its hard for me to admit but this is the sad reality in my country.
Well-seen and captured.
Regards,
Vesela

The photo is very good and the subject is pertinent.

Nice POV also.

Very good picture build up of contrast of the objects, graphics , even like the authumm leaves outside and colorful beads inside in the ground etc. Nicely set up composition. The only thing out of the contrast is nobody looks happy either inside or outside... Thank you for sharing this nice moment with us.

Simple - but impressive. This picture tells the naked truth in a simple way.

I do like the noise on this shot, as it gives more dramatic feel. Even more the contrast of pink decoration behinde the glass walls and the autumn leafs outside...
Wondering what was cropped off from the original as this is a square format?

I prepared another crop in the workshop, what do you think? I wouldn't say that mine is better, it's just different...

congratulations again!

strong shot, really intense and comprehensible two thumps up for this real life photography, this smilies left to the posts seem a bit ironical considering the photo
