Flowers in the dump

Phnom Penh, Cambodia

A girl in a garbage dump in Phnom Penh. Just a second... She has just found this flower and spontaneously posed with it, I was lucky that my camera was ready... Kids were like flowers in that place

that really is a spectacularly good photo, with lovely colour and expression and perfect composition. (And I love the extended pinkie on the girl's left hand). V

Ive been to Phnom Penh, and it was challenging, I dont know if I have either the courage or the skill to go to where you have been and bring back such a poignant reminder of our shared humanity. Exceptional capture ... voted

Fantastic. So strong and so much better than words... Please send your pictures to NGO's. I'm sure it can decide a lot of people to help children who are in this unacceptable situation.

Sheila Smart		05-Dec-2005 03:20
Three flowers in the dump. Wonderfully emotive image. NG would be proud of this image. Well done indeed.

Very moving -- outstanding composition, perfect exposure. You should be very proud of this one!

A ray of Hope ! Beautifully captured.

Guest		18-Sep-2004 19:21
Amazing, just like Salgado, you had exposed the proudness of poor people.

Guest		07-Aug-2004 21:10
Her smile is what gives this image a powerful feeling for the plight that she must endure. You have captured the essence of the human spirit shining for a moment. Well done, excellent photo. james

Weston Perry		03-Aug-2004 08:53
very nice!

Guest		28-Jul-2004 03:27
I cannot express my feelings about this image in a few words, but here it goes. There were only a handfull of photos I saw that moved me as much as this one. The other one is your photo of an older brother feeding a younger brother a coconut with the straw... I read somewhere you want to become a photographer. I think you are one. Don't give up. Best regards, -Miro

Without the background story, it is still a great, beautifully-composed portrait.

Kevin Tat		17-Jun-2004 19:35
