Photographed at a local festival I was struck by the kindness of this young man sharing his drink.

You captured a heartwarming story of caring and sharing with someone in need. Sharp details on the young man. Good tonal variation throughout. Nice shot, Robin.   Posted: 12/09/2025 14:33:23

This is an unusual, interesting and intimate street portrait. The tonal values are great, textures and hair details are equally great, and it is technically more or less perfect. I like your image a lot. The sense of anonymity that you create by not showing either of the two persons' faces. And this opens up for us viewers to make our own interpretation and to raise questions. I am thinking about what clues I get from the picture, and to me, it boils down to symbolism and gestures. The act of sharing, nurturing, the trust between humans. The hands, the bottle, the bowed heads create an almost spiritual quality. I do not need to see their faces - in fact, I think the image is much more powerful without them. The gesture speaks. Very well done.   Posted: 12/11/2025 18:22:14

Great street shot - gritty and intimate. The message is there without overtly spelling it out. Really enjoyed seeing this one.   Posted: 12/19/2025 09:03:42
