1st Place
Homeless...
by Vikas

New Delhi, INDIA

This is a photograph of a homeless man, actually he is one of a group of lepers who live on the streets and are usually found begging for money/food. Today being a national holiday here in India (Republic Day), and the winter sun providing much needed warmth, the group was sitting around and basking in the sun. I asked him if I could take his photograph and he obliged. Inspite of the conditions he was living under, he was smiling and joking and the eyes had that never-say-die sparkle......

awesome. I like how you've bumped the contrast, this image (white beart, wrinkles, texture of the cloth) was mean to be contrasty. I really like this one. The way I judge portraits is I look first at the photo at a very small size (or from very far away) - maybe at 40x40 pixels - and see if I can discern the expression of the subject, if I can, then I look closer and look at the details of the photo. Great image by this account.
