Yo Artur,

A stroke of luck with the composition!? I really like how the spacing of the pedestrians creates a theatrical stage like presence with this photo. I actually had to look twice to notice the women begging in the background but I think this adds to the charm. The black and white tones are very evenly matched and like the clarity.

Nice.

Hello,

the high speed shot gives this image quite a strange feeling, as if people were really standing still.

Combined to the black and white, the effect is interesting. The problem I see is that the woman (who justifies your title) is not visible enough, you don't notice her at first.

Maybe you could try an effect, such as keeping her in color ?

So I find your photo very interesting graphically, but I find it does not really convey the "rich and poor" message.

Iedereen loopt de bedelaarster voorbij, je ziet ze ook nauwelijks. Voorbijgangers die ze wel zien durven er bijna niet naar kijken. Ik vind dit een uitstekende weergave van de realiteit!

Dat de bedelaarster niet opvalt op het eerste zicht vind ik juist de sterkte van deze foto.
