i was a bit taken with emotion when i saw this homeless man yesterday. regardless of his circumstance, he took time to drape his cart with flags, celebrate and show pride in his country.
It sure is arresting! Framed very well.
But I wouldn't have known he is homeless if you had not mentioned it. Perhaps a shot from the front would have conveyed the 'homeless' part well?
Regardless, its a great frame! My favourite thus far; from you. :thumbup:
I disagree with a lot of the opinions about this one and selective coloring. DON'T TOUCH IT JON! This one is perfect the way it is. The beauty of b&w gives this shot a fantastic feel and this capture speaks to me of a time long forgotten. As always keep up the good work.
Jon ... you always capture what I can only describe in a quiet dignity in your photographs of the homeless ... it makes your work speak volumes and this one is no exception ... very emotive ... wonderful work as usual :mrgreen:
Really just an amazing shot. I have to say the quality of images on this forum is very very high, and this photo is not an exeption. Just a really emotive peace, and even though I live in Australia, am only 16 and in a more well off situation, I can connect with it. Good stuff.
