Description **********
Car Journey back home in Colombia, i passed by in the car and spontaneously captured these 2 little girls in the middle of the streets divide on the grass, they are children who have nothing to put it straight, on the street children, i mangaged to capture this shot ans was happy with it.

**********
I only ask myself what must this little girl on the right be thinking?
its all sad

There is a story behind this pic, which makes it even more powerful. I think it could illustrate an article on Columbia. Very nice pic.

excellent capture, very emotional. It reflects the sad reality of our society specially here in latinoamerica where you get to see images like this everyday...and what's even sadder is that only few people care about this

dislatino In reply to walliloide [2005-12-04 08:40:30 +0000 UTC]

thank you for the comment, its nice to see what people think for a change, it is true about latinoamerica, but we will have to just wait and see what gets done about it, public awareness is a must.

That's an amazing capture. Especially for one of those spontaneous ones (well, not really, I think those are often our best).

I would probably through it into Photoshop (or similar) and bump up the contrast a little bit so it's less of a grayscale.

dislatino In reply to zaya [2005-11-14 16:41:16 +0000 UTC]

cool, thanks for the comment i will consider changing the contrast, i had the chance to before submitting but thought i'll see what response i'll get from leaving it in its RAW format. thanks agin for the comment.

The blurring of the car behind is excellent - gives it a sense of suspended time - stuck almost.

Very nice in b&w, i'm off to peruse your gallery.

Thanks for the kind comments by the way!
