Description Look closely.

This is the foot of a begger who comes to rest and take some food from the old man [from Life - Experiences / 4]. He was lying on a bench with one of his legs resting on the other and I found this scean not to be missed.

Tell me the first image that you got by looking at it.

wowza, it's amazing how the sole of somebody's foot can give away the harshness of their life and the realities they've had to face. a very strong shot with a sombre, but important message. and when i first saw it... hmmmm... it seemed almost animalistic, with the toenails looking like claws. very well captured as well.

This reminds me on "Mr. Deeds" with Adam Sandler. His black frozen foot looks like this

A true insightful piece of photo-journalism.
The harsh realities that some people bear, well exposed and noticed by your sympathetic eye.
An important photograph, full of detail and a story told; the lives of some poor neglected beings.

I was thinking dirty and worn out, then I thought "Real life"...
What fascinates me is the blue/turquoise background against his dirty feet. An interesting contrast.
I find this a very interesting shot, you have done well to spot it!

This is incredebly disturbing...
One would think that this would be an awesome photomanupilation or that this foot had been equipped with fake-nails and such,
but that this is nothing but real life ... wow ...

My first thought was pretty much this was indeed a picture that had 'Lif Experience' printed on it.

Great shot.

so sad that reality is not accepted by our psyche …

we first look and want to explain it away with β€œa photo manipulation”

When I saw your image.... I could not allow myself to believe that an image would be manipulated to evoke emotion. The reality of our world is already too sad without making up stories.…

Your image brings an awareness we must face…

thank you

Absolutely stunning, my friend... I can't stop staring at my screen when that photo shows up on it. The tones, the contrast, the sharpness... and then; the subject. It's amazing how much can be told from a look at the soles of a man's feet.

To me, it tells the story of a person who has faced life's most cruel obstacles - but still keeps going.

I hope to see this on the frontpage one day

First up, great pic i relay like it.

as for what i thoguht when i first looked at it. to be honest it looked to be to be a half decayed foot and reminded me of scenes from shindlers list where german troops are burning piles of jewish corpses. very graphic and emotional and i think this picture covers some of that sentiment even though it has nothign to do with it. great work again very emotive everythign works jsut great.
