Stranger in Paradise

Yes, I kick myself for feeling down.

wow. powerful image. really interesting shot.

thanks, everyone. the thing most saddens me is people’s indifference to others’ suffering.

An image with a lot of impact. You are a great observer and you managed to catch a very special moment here. Very well executed. I love the vagueness of the cityscape and the warm light. Also like the halo around his head.

Wow thank you for sharing this most powerful image, You have captured a sad reflection of mankind everywhere, the whole image speaks. EXCELLENT

Fantastic awareness pic,like a broken toy will probably be ditched!

A lot of impact from a very powerful image with a message to us all

tremendous photo

a very moving and thought-provoking image – nice work!!

very impactful, zhao. please keep sharing these. there is a disconnect out there that we all need to somehow ‘connect’ and without knowledge we can’t do it.

Zhao, probably your very best work to date, it is so emotive and indicative of the worldwide condition, known in the UK as “I’m alright, Jack”. Basically, as long as I am OK, no one else really matters. Great work, my friend

Congrats! An extremely powerful shot, well captured, well framed, lots of strong and subtle emotion coming through.

thanks, everyone! This photo is a tribute to William Eugene Smith, who’s “The Walk to Paradise Garden” I saw as a teenager.

Modern attitude summed up in a moment, very powerful.

Well captured!! :)K

Seriously conception. Strong work!

WOW!!!!! Amazing shot, strong message…we must all count our blessings.

Sadly, she won’t be the last to walk on past with just a glance.

great capture, a miniature story in one picture.

Strong image- it says a lot- excellent work

I have to agree with Michelle…definitely a VERY strong image…it evoked emotion…excellent!

Wonderful capture of her judgmental nature… reminds of my mother.

when we were small, we were told, when we saw some one less fortunate, there, but for the grace of god, go i, so yes ,we need to look around and then know our own life and its blessing of this minute, because all could change in a eye blink, good photo, of life,s realitys

strong narrative in this image which is well captured

This is so classic of how people view the homeless.. The look on her face says it all!! Excellent work!!!

great shot.

Great capture!!

fantastic capture! i think it says alot about the society we live in today! well done!

Very well snapped, this image speaks loudly.

amazing capture. this is very powerful !

Amazing image !!!!!!!

Strong message well depicted…great work!

impressive shot

Extremely moving shot, beautiful capture.

Wow, great timing. The look in that woman’s face!

Very strong image, the disgust in the womans face saddens me, we are all equal.

I hate to be cliche, but… “A picture is worth a thousand words”. This isn’t much about this photo that isn’t perfect- the lighting, the focus, the capture of the emotion on woman’s face, the halo around the head. So much symbolism in a shot of every day life. The darker lighting and the busy street traffic converys the person’s struggle to make their way through the city (and life). As a person who worked with the handicapped for many years, I saw this same reaction too many times. People are so arogant; it could happen to anyone. All it takes is 1 accident or illness. I’m so glad you were given the change to catch this shot.

This is a wonderful photo, really captures the almost disgust on the woman’s face. Does she think the person likes being with only one leg. Your so right, its amazing how indifferent & insensitive people can be to one another. Great photo, & Congrats for being Featured on the Home page

Powerful and confronting….......great capture, well done.

it’s sad… it shows what life is all about… some people got nothin to eat and some people still complains though they have food on their plates….
nice shot!!!

AWESOME! so sad. very expressive and strong impact

Very meaningful and very nice capture. Yes nowaday many people, especially those living in the urban area, are quite distant to stanger but luckily there are few groups of people from various charity organisation such as Red Cross, World Vision, Tzu Chi (http://www.tzuchi.org.tw/) etc who are willing to offer their help all time. Lucky to be part of them.

wow the world so so unbalance , i love this shot very much

We walk this earth but we have so many fears! Just because we are different or have something missing doesn’t mean that they are less of a person.

Well said, Grant. Thank you very much for the kind and thought provoking comment.

Zhao,
deep feelings generated by this image. Your generosity, too, is thoughtful and caring. As an aside, i was moved by just how many people I saw on my trip who had amputations, partly or totally.

Very powerful imaga and very moving.

maka, i really like this shot. It has all the elements of an eye catching street photography. the dialogue is brilliant, the cars in opposite directions to the two, the blue spot somehow found a comfort zone on her leg. There is a story here. well done!

you won in TOP TEN in our book challenge
congrats zhao!!
blessings and inspirations,
