Shelter

Very expressive shot. Technically very competent. Has a lot of journalistic potential. But, I must warn that we should not fall into the trap of glorifying the misery of the less fortunate and in the process of singing praises of the artifact, forget that people’s misery is real and requires urgent attention from all quarters, domestic governments as well as international agancies. Socioeconomic inequality is the single biggest cause of civil unrest, the kind of which we are witnessing all around the world.

Excellent narrative shot with a good contemporary style. Very well executed

Technically this picture is very good but photos are always better if they tell a story and this one is profound.

Beautiful image telling a story

Jonathan, Congratulations on throwing off the shackles of corporate life, you were obviously not meant for it! It is a wonderful thing when a man is able to turn his life so completely around, as this wonderful portrait testifies. Congratulations on your day’s success and on getting so many people talking about a crucial reality. Pictures like yours are a great incentive for those with a conscience to gain knowledge and keep working towards real change. In all parts of the world.

Jon, you already know that I am an ardent admirer of your work. Apart from the technical mastery displayed, this haunting shot captures something ineffable, a moment, a situation that defies description in words. I don’t think that it glorifies anything, just makes the viewer aware of the predicament of people such as this particular girl, whose ranks are legion.

I love it with the girl standing under the tree. Just great.

Nice, finally something new and unique, not an another shot with a plastic water streaming through rocks and grass. Good capture.

This is just lovely.

Sometimes a picture is worth more than 1,000 words.
The girl is serene and beautiful. She seems to understand that the cleansing rain is temporary, so she’s ‘going with the flow’–perhaps even enjoying it. The viewer can write his own story to this image, and I choose to see a fellow nature-girl who enjoys a nice spring shower! Nothing smells better than fresh rain.

nice piece of work – the reflecting colors, the people in the rain – it’s very good. On the argument of glorifying the poor – at least shots like this stop and remind us of those people who are living on the streets.

magnificent. and effective shot.
Dof is so beautiful.
well done.

This is very beautiful, very touching

This is astounding! Looking at the technicalities of the light and composition. Raindrops look like light drops! It is awesome.

Excellent catch!

This is indeed a very powerful image – an image that really makes me ponder about the little girl’s situation, while at the same time feeling really impressed about this image’s emotional effects on my mind. I hope she is in the best of health. Excellent job Jonathan and i look forward to seeing more of your work.
