Migod! That is so poignant, so sad...
You have a great eye, 'cause juxtaposed with that mannequin, the woman morphs from a curiosity to a icon of pain, neglect and hopelessness.
That is the perfect photo for the theme. A real time commentry on the state of society. Excellent job.
Fabulous!... and yet so sad.
A contrast of the "haves" and "have nots!"
You prove a point sad but so true and common, unfortunately !!
Oh Bibi,
This is just the perfect shot. My oh my this says it all.
Bravo.

This says it all.
Quite a poignant contrast.
You DO have an incredible eye. Can only repeat what's already been said: This is perfect for the theme day, and also quite heartbreaking. I feel like it took a bit of courage to post this. Good for you, Bibi.
This is so moving and of course perfect for Theme Day. I so agree with Alexa, you do have an incredible eye, Bibi.
very touchy!!
Breaks my heart.
such a poignant image!
wonnderful take on the theme!
Many of us have gone for colour or light contrast but your take on the theme is the most appropriate and the most moving. This is a common trait of all our cities and it's a shocking sight every time. What do we do now?
I'm speechless. A wonderful shot.
Oh, how heart breaking.
Great interpretation of the theme, Bibi.
perfect but painfull shot for today. Would you have photographed her if she wouldn't have been asleep?
This breaks my heart... good that you have the courage to take and post hard realities Bibi.
Sad contrast and too common in our cities.
I agree it is too common in big city, more than often we overlook it.
Sad indeed! Nice capture of you.
Happy Theme Day!
My Bangkok Through My Eyes!
You got a Posty: I want to give 15 postcards :)
You nailed the theme, but it is very sad.
Ineke, I admit it was easier because she was asleep, but I think I would have sneaked a shot somehow, one of my hip shots, if she had not been.
excellent shot !!
unfortunately !!
Sad image, but its great composition adds drama and intensity to the circumstance.
A contrast in so many ways. Excellent capture!
wow, this is uncanny we had similar photos and thoughts. I hope things urn around soon.
Amazing photo.
i see this lady all the time!! the first time i kind of freaked out because i thought she was dead, but then she raised her head for a few seconds. i wonder how well the begging goes for her.
