Comment by Haneck:
This could be taken symbolically, perhaps... the bright, angelic little girl directly above the man in the shadows, handing down a gift to him... :) I would be curious to know if this is candid or staged, but it looks real enough to be convincing, making this a powerful photo. My only complaint with this is how indistinct the man at the bottom of the photo is. It took me a sec to figure out what the blob of darkness was. Also I personally think the editing is a little bit too much - the contrast between the blurred adults and the perfectly focused little girl is a little too abrupt.

I like the angle (great location too), but I wish there was a bit more light on the faces, especially of the guy.

Staged or not, this is extremely evocative.

Great perspective. Effective processing. 9.

Wow - I like how the brain has to work through this image at first. The processing & angle are very engaging, making the scene flop around a bit in your head. The title gives your mind a quick flick and then your there in a nanosecond. Images like this are why I come to DPC. -- 10 --

Love your processing. If this was a candid, then what a moment to capture.

It takes some time to appreciate this. I like the message and the composition and focus. Good street shot. Odd perspective. I have decided I like it.

I almost missed the guy in the shadow.
I only saw him because I read the title & at first didn't understand it.
I am not a fan of tilted photos. Personal taste I know. so I will give you a 2.


















Naaah... just joking. I like the work and lighting. 8
