This is amazing. I love your perspective in any
of your work. Huge VOTE.
Ana Carloto 17-Oct-2006 18:08
The point of view is really very good. It brings us down to her level and we have to humble ourselves in face of life's miseries...
Excelent shot. Congratulations Antonis.
George Christakos 09-Oct-2005 16:12
The same story here again. Simple, strong, tragic, aphoto wit "a thousand words". Voted.

Mark Rutter 21-Mar-2005 08:24
This is a really powerful image. The smallness of the cup is really poignant.
whiskey01 21-Mar-2005 08:06

Yvonne 21-Mar-2005 07:32
Time-worn hands and a small white plastic cup, what sad story lies inside this poor woman.
Magnificent capture Antonis.

This is so powerful. If her face had been visible it would have made it almost too personal.
You are a master,

A very strong shot....
don nieman 20-Mar-2005 20:11
What a powerful statment. This woman leans on a marble wall while needing to beg. Great work on this photograph.
Terry Clarke 20-Mar-2005 20:11
think your on quite a run here Antonis, these are the sorts of images B&W was invented for. Great to see it still being done so well in the digital age.
Niall O'Shea 20-Mar-2005 19:49
I like the way you've hemmed her in between the wall and the frame of the shot and as Ray says, the tiles then lead you in. Like being on the street, seeing a beggar and not being able to convince yourself that you haven't seen one.
Gail Davison 20-Mar-2005 19:43
So sad. Beautifully caught and black and white really serves well.
Anna Yu 20-Mar-2005 19:43
Bleak and powerful.
yosi aptekar 20-Mar-2005 19:34

Francisco Villegas 20-Mar-2005 19:30
An intense image... it makes think in how hard can the life be.

Ray Pettit 20-Mar-2005 18:19
I like the tiles in front of her that lead you in.

Beautiful solemn image.
Nancy
Simon 20-Mar-2005 18:11
Beautiful composition, beautiful shot.
Susanne 20-Mar-2005 18:11
I find it amazing how you find these different types of candit shots. They are all so unsual. Where are you from? I mean I could walk down the street and never see anything like that. Great job on this one. This leaves a sad feeling behind.
