no money in my pocket but..., a photo from Soroca, North

Photographer's Note

Gypsies in Badiceni, not far from Soroka, are not so wealthy as their brothers from the town, but definitely know how to enjoy life.

Cyganie z Badiceni, niedaleko Soroki nie są tak bogaci jak ich bracia z miasta ale zdecydowanie wiedzą jak cieszyć się życiem.

Very nice one !
The couple of course catch the eyes but I would say the context itself add so much value to this compo.
Thanks, Alain -

A very beautifully composed picture, since it does not only show the pair, but also the rural environment as context. The picture jet much warmth out. Greeting, Wolfgang

a beautiful portrait with a nicely divided frame, i like how the stairs lead us from one part to the other... too bad the car was white..

Haha, fantastic shot, and very well composed, Swiatek. I love the way that antique Lada is a strong part of the composition. These gypsies are adorable.
Great pov, very nice shot!

Beautiful portrait Nygus, full of joy and with happy faces like I love to see. I don't know if their lives are great nor if they really think about it, but seeing them in this portrait is refreshing !

ok, great picture, but as far as your message goes - it doesn't serve the purpose very well, because of the car - which actually dominates quite a bit...it does not help that it is in focus. I realise gypsie's live out out of vehicles, but in this gives a sense of having a few pennies at least.

Besides that, I think this is a good moment...

edit - extra point added due to ignorance on my part :|

I had to drop by because it's impossible for me not to...
It's like a renown restaurant. You don't care what's on menu. You order the dish. You won't be dissapointed.
Feast for my eyes - again.

Nice extremely well constructed portrait, Swiatek. I like the division of the frame and that car, which is part of their moving life...
Best,

Who the hell needs a wealthy life when you have such a tender hug?

Great shot I feel happy.

I love how both these people are bulky, and hold each other so closely. I love, too, that they're in the shade - a bit of privacy for them as we look at the car and the garden and the fence and building. The overhanging leaves frame this well. I wonder, if they weren't embracing, what would I think of each of them? As they are, they're openly joyous - I love it.
