About We call this "marreteiro". Due to unemployment, a man sells everything at a sidewalk, São Paulo dowtown: lighters and "batida", a drink made with "cachaça".
The face of this man was very impressive for me. The scenery, very colorful...and I like the relation between the man and the character of the graffiti... thanks to my Nikon for being so small that can "live" in my pocket...
All critiques are wellcome!!

This is such a good candid photograph Carmem, the framing and moment of capture is just perfect.

I love the colours and there is so much to look at in the photograph.

Fabulous work :-)

Best wishes,
Steve

muito boa, carmem...exatamente o que tem me atraido a atenção ultimamente...pena que nao tenho uma pequena nikon...muitas imagens ficam apenas na minha lembrança e, conforme a idade vai avançando, o tempo de permanência vai diminuindo...

beijos,

Fantástica essa cena que você flagrou, Carmem.
A figura com uma expressão aterrorizada, parecendo a expressão da morte grafitada no muro 'olhando' para o homem fumando e trabalhando na rua, sem muitas expectativas pela frente.... Essa imagem fala muito... Eu também não tiraria nadinha da foto, tudo faz parte da composição e cada pedacinho conta uma história.

Parabéns por esse seu olhar que capta tudo! ;-)

Um abraço grande e saudades.

Márcia.

Carmem, this is a wonderful image, with so much going on! P.J.s crop is nice, too, but although some might see 'clutter' in this shot, all the elements you included tell part of the story!
There was a film many years ago who'se title in Spanish was "Vendedores del Vicio" (salesmen of vice), which I think could fit this scene nicely! After all, he is selling alcohol, lighters for cigarettes, batteries (OK, the batteries aren't a vice! :) Add to this the fact that he is standing in the flames, with the painted figure shrinking away from him in fear... (he even has spikes in his hair - like horns!) Oof - so much symbolism! (then again, maybe I'm reading too much into it? :)
You have an amazing 'eye' for powerful photography!

hi,lady!..i like everything about this image and even had it up as computer background for awhile..the graf art is strong,the gentleman seems confident,but most of all i like how you composed him in one part of "his world"...seems the best natural portraits show people in their own element...very well seen/executed,Carmem..regards,gayle

Hi Carmem,

really a great and colorful dramatic portrait. the painting fits very well with his situation... some ghosts hiding behind him and waiting for his descent.

great style!

best wishes,

thilo

Even the face is not happy and very strong expression but of good subject of street photography theme, although I would?ve gave more space to his biz, but superb work. Saeed

a great use of lighters and strong smoker! optimal street my dear!.. I love the contrast of the colors that you have captured and the opposition between murales and the true man! a hard life is a lot touching.
kisses, roby (thank you also for your gift to me f the your photo's sequence)..

Great image and colors Carmem, I love the creepy figure on the wall! actually I was going to suggest cropping too, but now I understand your point of not cropping :) very well seen and realized as always Carmem!

Fantastic image Carmem!This is street photography at its best!He looks like a street vendor selling the two worst addictions, lighters for smoking and some kind of alchoholic beverage.The figure on the mural is looking at Him and telling Him He is in the darkness!(These are just My thoughts!)The colors are very good Carmem!I really like the expression on His face You have captured here! Excellent work My friend! Take care and GOD bless!..................John

Bela composição Carmem!
De vez em quando arrisco umas tomadas de pessoas, mas tenho um medo terrível da reação delas.. hehe.. Por isso prefiro a natureza... Podem até me morder, mas seique não é por maldade! hehe..

Amazing street shot Carmem. I like the "painting" behind him, the colours, your composition and his proudness.

Wow,great find Carmem. So much going on in this picture,which looks to be a candid shot. The wall is at a nice angle to make the shot fluid. The wonderful graffiti character seems to be actively interacting with the man,himself an interesting subject. His expression and the items around him invite speculation about his circumstances and thoughts,it seems he has been here for some time,judgeing by the contents left in the bottle. Love everything about this including the title. Take care,

Randy

No, P, I don?t agree with your cropping... I did several shots of this man... the whole scene was atractive to me... I?m posting another sample.
thank you anyway,
carmem
