Every time I see a shot like this, it makes me think about life and the steps any of us could take to move from one place to the next, and not know where we are.

These types of images make me sad. Seeing the squalid conditions where people really have to struggle to stay alive, and just a few minutes down the road people live in extreme opulence with blinders on to the rest of the world. Very well done.

Which city is this, by the way?

jsmanseau said 1 year ago:

Thank you for your comments. This is Manila, Philippines. I was there earlier this month. It makes me sad too, in one day we saw the city, the "Beverly Hills" and also the squatting area. Talk about an eye opening and humbling experience to see all three in a day.

doilyboy (Martin Grey Gottlieb) added a critique 1 year ago:

I like the image but would love to see it cropped a bit tighter, something to emphasize the 'have-nots' juxtaposed against the 'haves'. I know thatwould limit the nice reflection and the water a little but it would strengthen the statement maybe??

chaba (David Chabashvili) added a critique 1 year ago:

good shot! the reflection is very nice! one thing I would like to note is to process the sky little more - emphisize the coulds, little bit of contrast and color correction..good work!

Sometimes, photography is a troublemaker. This one is a good one and show us the contrasted way of living in the same city.

a great photo-any photo that evokes an emotional response such as this is a good one
