Excellent capture of emotions. Quite touching. I am originally from India and I have seen scenes like this on the streets of the cities, where some little kid like this is trying to make a living or even trying to support a family by his god given talents, which are often exploited by some thugs higher up in the food chain. If you need to see a glimpse of that, please watch the latest movie from India, which got the Oscars this time, called "Slumdog Millionaire". TFS

Hello, my good friend,
what a sad and touching photograph. I love the way his skin and the red on the accordion are about the only color there. Wonderful POV that shows how small and alone this poor little child is and all those shades of gray suit the scene perfectly. It makes my heart ache for all the children in his situation. A beautifully sensitive shot. Many thanks and my warmest regards,
Shelly

Hi Bratislav,
A very good picture with this limited colour palette. A touching scene and a thought evoking photo!
Kind regards

Hi Brati. You've touched a sad and important topic. Excellent POV and dephting to exalt the children: overcome by despair. TFS

Bratislav,
Heart breaking image, a reality of life of some, Hopefully his song can bring just a little bit of joy to this world and a little bit of donation to help him survived and perhaps take care of his family as well. Very nice but sad daily life shot. thanks.
Way

COSTANTINO (115673) 2009-05-14 11:52

Ciao Braca, sad song, but great documentation, touching photo with this poor lovely child, bravo, ciao Silvio

ciakgiak (30) 2009-05-14 13:09

Ciao Brati,
la foto ed il soggetto sono molto emozionanti.
Questo bimbo canta perchè ha bisogno di cantare, se tutti noi cantassimo il mondo sarebbe diverso...
Complimenti per questa foto che fa tanto riflettere!
Un abbraccio
Giorgio

pierrefonds (113716) 2009-05-14 14:49

Hi Bratislav,

You have captured well the expression of the child playing the acordeon. It is well framed. The picture is clear and precise. Have a nice day.

Pierre

dareco (17136) 2009-05-14 22:25

He looks as though he's putting his whole heart into his song. A very emotional capture. Very well done. TFS

racheltafoya (509) 2009-05-14 22:36

Hello Dear Braca,

Thank you for sharing this moving image. You have captured the honesty of the scene with an artist's eye. There's a little bit of red in the left foreground tile, and a little in the right background tile, and red in the accordion. This ties the image together from left to right, and front to back.

It would be a touching image anyway, but it's made more effective by your POV and composition.

Warmly,

Rachel

Dyerco (10185) 2009-05-14 23:22

Hopefully he will be able to earn a good living from his music one day. A good slice life shot.

Hi Bratislav,i like a lot this kind of pic showing bad aspect of a daily life in the world.Very very interesting,my best compliments for the idea and for the top quality of your shot,have a nice day,LUCIANO

Bonjour Bratislav
belle photo de ce jeune qui fait de la musique pour gagner sa vie, belle présentation.
Amitiés

aadilj (18102) 2009-05-15 4:48

Sad and poignant. I like the hues and like the way you have captured the grays around him

Buin (42580) 2009-05-15 6:34

Hallo Bratislav!
Ein Foto, das nachdenklich macht, das unsere Welt zeigt, wie sie leider ist - ungerecht und oft gnadenlos! Irgendwie tut dieses Foto weh ... Gut, dass Du es gezeigt hast!
Grüße aus dem gewittrigen Westfalen!
Frank

Kielia (24077) 2009-05-15 10:45

Hallo Bratislav,
dieses Bild macht mich ganz traurig, alles ist so grau und der kleine Junge sieht auch sehr gequält aus. Leider sieht man solche Szenen auch bei uns immer häufiger. Ein guter Beitrag im besten Sinne von TE!
Liebe Grüße aus dem stürmischen Norden,
Harriet

amirey10 (603) 2009-05-15 13:10

hi Bratislav,
very good shot
good composition and POV
i like the young boy and his smile and concentration in the song
good job
cheers

ChrisJ (171392) 2009-05-15 18:10

Hi bratislav

A superb daily life scene, & good downward pov, on the street performer child. A good social commentary & photojournalistic shot, too. Tfs!

danos (110407) 2009-05-15 23:31

Good morning Bratislav,
a well known snapshot in some countries with little children to play with organs to earn their livings for their family.As 'Sreeharig' write you, the film movie "Slumdog Millionaire" is a very characteristic recipe from this fact.Well done.

Have a nice weekend,Danos

banaei_nikon (755) 2009-05-16 21:39

Hello Bratislav,

A very good shot full of life, full of respect and softness.
Excellent framing and POV very well selected.

buscape (6219) 2009-05-17 16:52

Hallo Bratislav,
man könnte sagen dieser arme Junge singt um sein Leben. Dein Foto zeigt die grosse Armut von dem kleinen Jungen. Es besitzt noch nicht einmal eine Schachtel für das bisschen Geld, das er mit seinem Gesang verdient. Ein gutes, aber sehr trauriges Bild vom täglichen Leben in Serbien.
Viele Grüsse aus Deutschland,
Helmut

alainh (33209) 2009-05-17 22:51

hello bratislav
a sad but good testimony of the difficult life of some child !

dvlazar (6662) 2009-05-18 0:43

Nice concept of draining color from his world, except the accordian and the red shades.
Works well like that!

Cheers,

DAve

nwoehnl (122) 2009-05-18 1:27

Hi Bratislav. A good expressive photo of the boy playing the accordion in the street. A little sad, but at the same time the photo seems to bring a hopeful mood for this child to have a brighter future than he is maybe imagining at the moment. Thanks for sharing.

jhm (211734) 2009-05-18 2:22

Hello Braca,

A young musician middle of the street, he hope that a lot people give a gratuity.
Very well composition and good presentation. TFS.

Have a nice week,
John.

jaywalker (16105) 2009-05-18 10:39

Hi Bratislav, A really good photo of this young lad buskin, all seems to sit well in the shot, like the gray tiles & the dusty look through-out, his shabby accordion & the little bit of money are both a nice addition, TFS, kind regards Wilson.

nivaldo (15417) 2009-05-18 17:45

You are absolutely right, Bratislav!
The scene could be anywhere.
That´s a flagrante, it´s sad but it´s real...
Um abraço, Lieber Braca!
Nivaldo

Hi Bratislav,
nice scene and portrait in one. Good shot. Theme is sad a little. Well reportage.

gracious (20025) 2009-05-19 12:31

Hello bratislav,
Tears is in my eyes now when I looks at this image of the less fortunate child! you had described well in the notes on behalf of me!
this image had touched my heart deeply!
thank you for the sharing
Tony

Bluejeans (64251) 2009-05-20 5:10

Ola Bratislav,
Uma foto bem triste este rapaz a tocar e cantar neste chão cinza como a vida dele triste , bom enquadramento , parabéns!!
Um abraço Gonçalo

daddo (28748) 2009-05-20 5:23

Zdravo Braco. Cudan je zivot gdje oni kojih najvise ganjamo, kao ovaj mladi Rom, daju nam prilike da se kroz pjesmu probudimo dusevno. Tezak im je zivot a Rusi imaju jednu frazu koja dopada u vojoj sceni- smjeh kroz suze. Drago mi je da si prominio temu ovaj puta. Pozdrav. Klaudio.

Jakab (3867) 2009-05-26 13:15

Hello Bratislav,
poor boy - but as long as there are people with big heart like you have he has a chance. Composition and colour contrast (only the boy and his accordeon emerging from the grey) is very good.
Best whishes
Laszlo

Greg1949 (9011) 2009-05-26 14:05

Braca, interesting perspective you bring to TE here, well done. Fine shot too, illustrates the note very well.

Greg

Flavia (10352) 2009-06-06 21:45

Hi Bratislav,

Sad story, the story of millions of children around the world...
Nice attempt. Next time try to lower you POV to his level so you'll be able to get more of his face.

Regards,

Flavia

ilDottore (5252) 2009-06-07 6:25

Zdravo Braca,
Wonderful shot of this young street performer.
Maybe different POV could be more beneficial for the composition... next time try to go down and make a shot on his level...
Best Regards!
Chris

maloutim (13617) 2009-06-26 10:55

Hi Bratislav!
Nice thoughtful picture of this young guy who has to earn his living from very young! I like the way you have only kept a few touches of colour in the grey surrounding him, mainly his accordeon and his face. It seems to say: He is living in a grey world, but his face remains happy thanks to his instrument and his song!
Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend!
Marie Louise.

gunbud (34066) 2009-07-31 20:14

Hi Braca,
Very thouching sorrowful shot of this poor young man singing for his supper.
You wrote a thoughtful and caring note about this sad scene.

swiatopelk777 (0) 2009-08-13 2:04

Hi Braca!
Wonderful musician. Good POV and capture. Great effect.
Greetings from Warszawa!

testmaniac (13508) 2009-08-30 6:56

Zdravo Braca, dobra dokumentarna slika.
Prepare to post photos in TE with more

Urs (14082) 2009-10-08 4:48

Hi Bratislav

Not everything is singing and dancing, the life of this boy certainly is very difficult as he has to play to make a living. It's sad but it often happens. A fine shot from the perspective of the viewer. High color saturation and sharpness. Well done

Best regards
Urs

devimeuxbe (58557) 2009-12-21 22:55

Hi Braco
This is a nice portrait of your little musician. The POV is nice
