Photo Community - MyShutterspace

went down from the office one afternoon for my lunch break- saw this poor guy hugging himself so tight- never moving- still and waiting for people to drop in a few coins..i never saw his face - never bothered to look up whenver somebody drops somthing in his cup... (i made him my model for this shot and gave him a few dollars-wish i could shoot him again next time and squeeze some story outta him)

Wow, it is beautiful, without seeing his face you can feel every emotion in the photo. Amazing!

They say "a picture is worth a thousand words".

In this instance, a thousand words could never say what you have in this photo!

Tremendous photo, powerful message it relays. How blessed we are and often do
not even appreciate it!

Hope you get to hear is story and share it with us.

The subject, the story behind it, and the processing, all add up to one superb image!

it could in fact really be a lunch break away from the office. At first glance
And it can be what it is : misery and pain (those feet say it all don't they ???)
you captured the essence of photography I think here ... imagination and even deception
again I like layered images as painful as they can be
nice work Alden
