Very nice composition. I really like the texture of the bars and the placement of the little girl in the photo. It seems a little overexposed across the bridge of her nose. I don't know why you say it's not a high quality photo. I like it.

Marilia,
you are correct, technically, the photo isn't all that great, but it tells a great story! Yes there can be shots taken with $25000.00 cameras and lenses, but if they do not tell a story, then they are for only a limited enjoyment only. Here you were able to tell the story of poverty and dispair of this little girl with a point and shoot camera and cheap film. Good work Marilia, and keep it up. God bless you in your work with these children. (8)
Later my friend,
Russ

Like the other comments said, this picture has a strong story to tell! And that is whats makes it such a good picture. It reminds us of the fact that not everyone lives a decent life. And too often its the children that are the victims. Your image is a really important one. Keep on telling your stories aboout these forgotten children. somebody has to be their voice and that is you. Nevermind about the technical stuff, its not important in this case.

This does have a very strong emotional appeal. The face can be burned down some to add even more impact.

Well composed and very dramatic. A bit overexposed but with the grain and overall tone, it works well.

They don't have to be technically perfect to capture the moment, as this picture proves. Very well done!

Marilia. If you think this image is poor quality then it suits the poor quality of this childs life which I'm sure you help to enrich. Stunning photograph. Well done.

this IS the kind of shot where i dont find the "quality" that important. Infact, it has a kind of journalistic effect which is very good, apart of course from her expression which needs no words.

I rated this yesterday, and have commented on it on another site some months back. I remembered it was from a point and shoot, and that it had a power in angle and timing. I would look to work on the scan, because this is a truly special image, and you deserve to present it at its highest level. I gave a 9 as is.........Why wouldn't it be your best? It would be for countless many. J.

Techinically may not be perfect, there is some overexpoure on the forehead but I like the expression on a child's face, and I like your title as well, good capture.

good photo with real story behind it, I'm gald to see high ratings regardless some small technical faults, at last the matter is 'that was to tell' - no matter how. Congratulations,

I'm surprised and happy with this unexpected Photo of the Day honnor.
Although I'm just a snapshooter, it means a lot to me. Because I know poverty so well, I know what these children go throught and what tough life they live.
So, I thank you all in their name.

Talk about having soul, Marilia, this is the epitome of it. Even through those dull eyes, you can peer into the soul of this little child and that's no small accomplishment. Absolutely fantastic image. I can see why this means so much to you. All the best to you.

This photo (i don't even know why the technical side of this photo is an issue???) represents something so much larger on the whole, look at that girl and see the innocence behind bars. It just one of the things that shouldn't be. Poverty, world hunger and disease. They are the terrosists. Why can't the world see? That we are the disease, we are the terroists, but we are also the innocence behind the bars that we put before us...

Muitas vezes os pormenores não são o mais importante, e quando o são, raramente são os grandes feitos técnicos que me impressionam numa imagem. Prefiro as expressões, as cores, a própria composição da imagem, e principalmete, as sugestões que as imagens me oferecem...
Neste caso, a criança, a sugestão de prisão e a sua expressão triste, formam um conjunto bastante emotivo que, como imagem me agradou bastante!

You talked recently about present and past. I wanted to see your past on UF. This is what you have classified as your best photograph - at the same time you say that it?s not a high quality photo. I like this contradiction - it tells so much about you Marilia ... you are not only a great photographer - you also have a very big heart! *hugs*

Very impressive moment you caught here, i dont know why you say is not a HIGH QUALITY Photo, i hope you meant in the grains.
Such a mood, that inspires me sadness, poor, needs, hunger, anyways this is such a wonderful pictures, it is a bit sad but i guess thats what you wanted to show us, how sad is our world.
Congratulations.
Where was taken?

Thank you Miguel for your kind words.
This picture was taken near São Paulo City. In my country, nearly 5 million children are considered miserables. That is to say: they have nothing. At all.
Abrazos,
Marília
