- Comment - Let me say something more because the picture deserves it. Not only the colours, composition and general quality are very good but I see a clear symbolism in the composition which adds to the pathos of the image (like Lucag said). For me having the door at her back and no space in front of her strongly suggests exclusion. IMO this is your best shot and one of the very best people photographs in Commons. Congratulations. -- Alvesgaspar 21:43, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Alvesgaspar. Truly. It is a shame as to how something so ugly can be morbidly pleasant to the eye. --Tomascastelazo 22:23, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Support Great composition and colors. Dori - Talk 21:27, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Question For such kinds of photos I guess the person being photographed should give their permission for being published? I do not find any notice thereof in the image page. Would that not be normal? Or is it not needed because the person in this case appears quite unidentifiable since we do not see the face? -- Slaunger 22:17, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Photo taken at a public place, fair game even if faces show. --Tomascastelazo 22:23, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment In this particular case I think you are right. At least legally there seems to be no concern. However, there could be a moral issue if the photo can be considered as intrusive, even the the person is in a public place. I doubt this is the case here as the person is hardly identifiable. But this is not my speciality... -- Slaunger 22:38, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Slaunger: I find it so ironic that our moral issue concerns verse on legal aspects. The real moral issue is poverty itself. It is my wish that photography becomes a window that allows us to see beyond. --Tomascastelazo 22:47, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
