Tomek, what can I say, your pictures and your descriptions always amaze me! The shot is excellent and the description adds so much more to the shot, as I said before you are a true photographic genius!

Excellent composition with the large aperture. Great idea to convert to tell the story even better.

very touching photo - like the technique you used of putting all the focus (AND in focus) on the begging woman and everybody else out of focus

Very poignant and compelling image. The low subjective POV and shallow DOF concentrates attention on the beggar and emphasizes her isolation from the indifferent background mass of passersby.

I am going to post an honest comment. We in London see this day in day out, we could shoot these all day, my audience would say "so what" if I shot this. The princess putting money in pot, arm on shoulder, would be a priceless shot. Just a honest comment.
