An Other Day In Paradise

There are many beggars…. or a few beggars or even one or two in our most transited streets.. but I think they are fake, I know and feel that this may be a real one.. one has to decide to help a bit or not. It is hard enough to lie on the cold pavement even asking for money to eat, even we have a gangrenous feet or not. Your picture is a testimony and I ell glad to see it. Reflectioning into my natural selfishness.

i like the light in this image, showing the textures, the wall , his blanket, the pail , the pavers , the shreds on the mat, the ppl’s clothes in the background – wonderful light, thanks for sharing, it really enhances the image making it interesting.

amazing shot! horrible reality surrounding us

I’m lost in words….............. thank you for sharing…

Im choke up…great shot with message.

it is truly a heart wrenching image… it’s painful to look at and it hurts...
we should all be so thankful… thank you for sharing, enno…

I agree with mimi…..........This is so powerful and HONEST…..hard to look at ….yet we all know it’s there…..the harsh reality for so many…...and YOU have captured all that and more in this image!!! Thank YOU for making us SEE the real thing again!

So moving… touching the deepest of my heart… but i see something positive in this picture… Can you see the “zeal of living” in that beggar??? whatever is the status, “want of Existence” always supercides….

powerful image!

touching, heartrending… brilliantly composed. This is such an effective, and painful, shot!

great work

Powerful and dramatic….................compelling image

This has touched me, and makes me aware, once again, of how lucky we are, to live as we do… yet it makes me feel sad that I feel that I am unable to help, it one way it really hurts… too much rawness there, so I feel like turning away. This is where your words mean so much….

Good Grief. We should all count our blessings…I wonder if he sees any to count? Probably. You can philosophise anything….
great capture.

This is an incredible photograph, one which tears at my heart…you have captured this poor sole in his despair with compassion, love and finesse….dearest Enno, your Light is shining ever so bright…thank you! JD

great capture

Enno, this is such an amazing capture…what amazes me is how shiny and well-kept the silver bucket is compared to the man…brilliant;)

Amazing capture!

Amazing image Enno.

Oh my god. What is this. Is this photography? Is this Art? (Surely). But why do I have tears in my eyes?
What is going on?
Three days ago, I had to cry because of the photo about a little Girl in India.
Now I have to cry again.
Photography is becoming something dangerous to me.
Photos like this make me feel concerned.
So photography is not only art. It is impact. It is shock.
Great WORK my friend.
My congratulations, my respect, my admiration.
I am shocked, but I love your work.
It is so human… and so sad…
Please go on.
Instant watchlist.

Now I see that “fuzonlab”, the artist who made me cry three days ago, (the girl from India), saw and commented this work also.
You both are dangerous artists to me my friends.

What a great shot! So powerful! And the words also. You are a great ambassador of the the ones who face great difficulties and don’t have the means to say it to the world. Your work is very important.

Congratulations on winning the challenge. A very emotive capture.

Hi Enno,well captured and very un-insulated.Om Mani Padme Hung.

I’m not sure there are any words for this one. Thank you for showing the world this and all your lovely art.

Such living conditions. Your photo’s speak such volumes with no words. This I know is what you are wanting to convey, and you most definately are Enno.

Just a fantastic capture

truly evocative work.

This is gripping… Raw and honest reality. Wonderfully captured… Thank you for posting and sharing this Enno.

powerful image and very true thoughts…we are all so busy hurrying up we dont see the real happiness…

How lucky are we !!, great shot mate.

Great Capture!!!

oh my ! the beauty of your photograph make her pain and poorness even more moving !!
world needs talents as yours to show , with heART, that most people are in need of help !

Great work!

This is a wonderful photo on so many levels. Of course, there is the subject, a harsh side of life that so many of us are not used to seeing. That is portrayed in this photo with a strong message that speaks to the pain, suffering and poverty around us which we choose to ignore. Technically, the color, lighting and the mix of textures all work together to add to the message.

So much of your work shows the difficulties of life, but much of it also has sense of hope and human endurance. I love in your portraits, how you capture both the harsh realities in the persons life, but also the sense of pride, joy and hope that often exists in the very same people.

Can not explain it better than Dan, just a strong image in many ways, well done, x anna

That’s really an emotive shot! Thanks for reminding us about peoples everyday struggles- sometimes we get too caught up in our cushiony lives to think about others in the world around us!

Soovitan seda pilti gruppi “I Recommend” ja loodan maailma rahvaste tolerantsusele-me ei ole ega ela kõik inglisekeelses maailmas, teinekord mõistame teineteist sõnadeta….........

Just to look hurts, aren´t we lucky people!?

A very powerful image that belongs on the cover of Life.
Please add in the description where exactly this was taken.
