Description
I was left to my own devices
Ruler of my own world, outsider to all others
Making sense out of shadows and alley cats
Loving life till there is nothing that can bring me down

If you see me you don't have to smile
I'll do alright without your understanding
But if you do see me remember my face
I am a statue of the will to make it no matter what

I don't why but it seems like in all of your work there's at least one person telling you if it's manipulated, I think some people are jealous cause you are one of the bests here in DA.

honestly i don't know how you managed to get light on that boy's face, in such obviously dull conditions (which i, personally, would be scared to shoot in).
a virtual black & white with just the subtlest hint of colour.
really great work.

nice picture. I like the way the street seems darker thank the child. I think it sends the ideea of the childhoow being a warm and special time for a human. I really love this contrast

fleetofgypsies [2007-03-28 07:22:05 +0000 UTC]

a great shot of the little fella all on his tod..... i like the immediacy of the magazine's colours as a contrast to the dark, duller tones of the street... a keeper i think!

I feel that's just so very, Gilad. You seem to have an interpretation for just about every thorn on a rose

EtherealJade [2007-03-28 04:08:22 +0000 UTC]

I love how his legs are all bruised up, it's very realistic of a little kid and it contributes to the theme of the overall picture.
It really does look like something out of a movie, it's almost Oliver Twistish!
Awesome job, as always ^_^

I love the way you edited the picture with a dark lens vignetting ..that really guide the eyes to the subject whose expression is delicious...and behind him there is clarity, light, as a path of light to guide the boy somewhere...very subtile line ..love it Gilad..
