Green isn't always the colour of money

Incredible pic … as you say fabulous colours and composition but oh, so sad. We see loads of this here in SA and the worst is when one becomes hardened to it. Thanks for sharing : )

Speechless. Unbelievable capture! Another National Geographic shot!!!

Incredible image Vikram, pleasing to the eye, but yet sad to the soul, powerful stuff my friend :))

Great shot Vikram – wonderful colours and a powerful message. Nice work :)

Wow, amazing photo! The colors are so bold and complimentary including the covers used by the individual! But that figure makes the whole image so striking and sad as well!

wow vikram .. you know how to take a great shot man

WOW… Awesome shot Vikram!

I agree with George, National Geographic

Fantastic shot, my friend! The window physically dominates the image in terms of space, yet you have managed to make the man stand out the most.

He comes into into view as an afterthought, only once we have looked at the whole scene, especially the window and tree. However, when we do see him, our eyes are drawn irresistibly, and the bright features of the window suddenly fade back into the background, unimportantly.

Only a powerful impression of need, sadness and misery remains in a world that is trying hard to make us believe that all is bright and happy.

National Geographic material indeed!

Beatiful composition.I agree with Johanne’s well-put comments.

I continue to be blown away by the clarity of your work. Your technique is so masterful. You do for color what the masters did for bw.

Vikram…..when I first looked at this I was taken with the rich colours and the wonderful composition. And then was very quickly taken over with sad emotion when my eyes rested upon the man. You have a great talent when it comes to photojournalistic type images that definitely tell a story and move the viewer. Anyway, you know how I feel about poverty and the homeless and I applaud you for bringing attention to it through your art, hopefully in turn speaking to someone enough to maybe lend a helping hand. This speaks volumes my friend :)

This shot and title is very thought provoking and sadly very real for a lot of people right now. I agree with George, it is DEFINITELY worthy of being in National Geographic! You have tremendous talent!

Oh WOW Vikram, this is awesome. Purely as an artwork it works on every level and then there’s the deeper story that makes you think past the pretty colours… a favourite. ( :

Incredible! Impresionante.

ah wow, the colors are incredible!!! But it is sad, the poor man, pity his pants compliment the pic… but thats life and a beautiful capture!

So beautifully framed.. Excellent photograph !

This is an outstanding image. Well done.

Incredible but yes, a sad image!! Excellently shot, though, Vikram!!! and I’ll vote, too, for a National Geographic image!! :-)

Wow … it’s perfect … the colours, the composition … everything is perfect!

Great capture Vikram…. and yes, very sad upon further investigation….

ooooooooooh i love this

Such an excellent, excellent image Vikram!! I can just imagine the feeling though, of being pleased to take such a beautiful photograph, followed by realising the reality of the situation of the man lying there. I agree with the others, you have a brilliant photojournalistic eye!

i learned about fareStart in 1999 when i belonged to the National Association of Catering Executives as a Wedding & Event Coordinator and Venue Relation Specialist… we produced several auctions and benefits for fareStart and even volunteered as helpers in the kitchen or in the restraurant as servers… fareStart is totally a class act organization… in fact, oh my go see our book that features them heART that is making a difference it happens to be in full preview right now!!! (usually they only open the first 15 pages!!) ... all the most premier chefs in town support their group and actually cook in the kitchen with the homeless in training once a month… they are an awesome group…
♥glad you found us and look forward to more work from you

Fantastic!

Wow what a title, and I do love how you can take something so sad and actually make it beautiful. The composition and colours are fantastic and the man draws you in and makes you stop and think, a def fav.

great!

these images always leave me feeling frustrated and useless! I wish he was just having a sleep because then I could say this is such a beautifully composed image…. and it is except you didn’t set him up, he is there due to circumstances that probably could have been controlled or made better. Well done for highlighting the down side of humanity in a beautiful way xox

wow….wonderful colour and composition

Congrats on your feature! You are now invited to enter
this piece into Best of YELLOW

Very strong and brilliant colours and image!

Great story-telling Vikram

Brilliant work!

You’re right – such vivid and appealing colors, combined with the poignancy of the man sleeping. Great composition, however.

Wonderful capture.
