Description

I saw this man while walking and took pictures of him. The man is poor and always wandering. He brings with him his only treasure, the things he got from the garbages. While taking pictures of him, he nooded and smiled at me. And I kept on saying once more! That was really funny. He also kept smiling.

The look of the man is very ragged. And I think people are too afraid to get near to him but I hope in this picture, people will see him as a good creature just like any other person.

It is very nice to see people's faces. You can see a story behind...
Very nice capture. A bit more bluriness in some parts of him looks a little distracting. I suppose you corrected the blur backround somehow, that's why, or he was moving too. Also on the right side of his head, there are some white parts you could heal.
Still, a good photo. I think a frame would look nice too.

I'm all for these real-life photos of people revealing culture/harshness of life. imho, a full look of him from head to foot might well aid the raggedness of his life
better. */8

Good capture, well composed, but not well edited (see his right arm and hair).

Also a bit overexposed. A -1/3 compensation could have made the exposure perfect.

Sad but very good capture!.....I may crop some at the top.
It is really amazing how poor people all around the world seems to have similar pattern of behavior.......they also in my country smile to you and are very cooperative when taking pictures of them.
They seem to have some joys that we will never experience......like the joy of findign some food after 24 hours of starving.

what a great photo. i am moved by the expression on his face, he's very beautiful. there might be a few technical details that could be improved, but to me they're not so great that they make this anything less than a wonderful capture

try vertical (portrait) orientation next time!

reminds me of a funny story...
i was volunteering in a soup kitchen (for a school project) and a toothless man approached me and asked me if i brushed my teeth. i was a bit confused but i responded, "yes." he said, "good, keep brushing your teeth. i lost mine because i never brushed them. tell me now you will always brush your teeth!"
anyway sorry for stealing your thunder but this is what your photo reminded me of :) the man in your photo looks similar to the toothless man

This picture expres so much about your description...!!!
There are hundreds of people like this here in Paraguay and it really breaks my heart to see them walking around just trying to survive, wile other people (in the goverment) are fighting to get more mony in to their pockets...
Sad but Truth....!!!!!:S

Thanks to all

@Madanaple Wow that's just great. You are right.
@Poohblah what a nice story. The man doesn't really want young people to end up like him. That's great. :)
@ RvascoF Yeah that's really true RvascoF. That is what really happening here in Philippines.
@cupcake thanks alot!
