Saw this guy feeding his younger siblings along Escolta / streets of Manila. The small plate where they all were eating from only contained rice and fish broth aimlessly hoping to get their stomachs filled in their poor state. Living in a hand made wooden cart, they still probably feel hope.

Good photo,

I like the fact that the man is NOT looking at the children. Now it appears he is checking the environment and guarding over the safety of the children.

Close cropping/composition ads to the feeling of intimacy. For a moment the three have their little moment of togetherness in a hostile worlds.

Suggestion for slight improvement: I like strong blacks, but on my calibrated screen there is allmost no detail in the shadow area of the leg of the men (knee area) and in his hair. I'm sure that on most non-calibrated screens this problem is non existent.

Anyway, make a very large print of this phote, frame it and be proud of this achievement!
