Damn! I don’t know what else is there to say about your photos that hasn't been said before…
I don't remember seeing lately any portraits stronger then yours.
The facial expression on this guy is amazing…
I'll better shut up and just enjoy your work.

Wow! I love this one! The Colours are so great! I Love the Picture of the Two Cats in the Back! (Cats are my desire ;) )
The Title fits the mood at its best!
An other great Portrait!!!!!!!!!

house and man are such a great subject. you don't happen to have a more total view of both (pic from second link + man similar to shown above)? in this photo he's got the better look and message, but the dark left half catches to much attenion - it "thins" your concept. the view on you second link is a bit boring (composed around the middle ... doesn't serve your subject..).

Awesome portrait once again

Great and creative composition.
You would say the cats pull too much attention,
but the strong presence of the main subject holds everything
together beautifully

Streetlife in its definition (or as I'd try defining it) can be explained with the following synonym: Madanapale

Wow, that's a fascinating juxtaposition!

You're getting the hang of this young man.
A very moving and emotive image - the colours and capture are outstanding.
I'd have been inclined to crop from the left but... no, you're right - that would make it too dynamic - there's a sense here of the emptiness of the man's inner world (left) in contrast to the business of the outer world (right) in which he has to live.
You're an artist.

Very good photo..it's beautiful because it has on one side the bright colors and nice shapes, and on the other side the not so bright reality represented by this man... very dramatic

Quite dynamic and dramatic composition. Interesting how his jacket is found with in the wall painting beside him, although it is dirty it does works since he walks the line between vibrant and dulled. Nice job.

First of all I would like to say thank you for your comments. They mean a lot to me.
Secondly I believe that you are making a service by publishing these photos. Not only they speak to my heart, but to my mind as well. Thanks again.

Now this is carlos in Full form.doing people in the street photography
What a great artwork !!! The 'contrast' has been well captured !! His expression creates a mood that is very moving !!! One small crit though in the gloomy half of the 'contrast' the black isn't perfectly black. some traces of post processing can b seen, that can b healed off ... !!
Top Marks !!!

It always amazes me how much more wonderful the human subjects are than the brilliant backgrounds. You are a master at capturing expression, or lack there of. Another brilliant work.

It is hard to keep on commenting on your work without sounding like I am repeating myself but the reason I do repeat myself is because all of your works are fantastic! there are only so many ways you can say brilliant or great or excellent! hahaha.

superb work Carlos....AGAIN!

Hey my friend :) sorry for the long absence in comments
I absolutly love the the strong contrast between the rich colors and the stark poverty. As always you have such emotive works. The cat on the left looks like it's crying.....
well done my friend, Keith

As always :) 7/7, but I think You should make add a little more contrast, colors will be more saturated and that mess on the left will be darker.

Great contrast, just like the way you said "Contrast. beetween the colors of the artist and the colors of the homeless". Top marks!!

keep shooting.

I don't know what to say, but that I am genuinely stunned with the style of your work lately. . .
Everything's a clash, isn't it? I would love to analyze you, hehe, be an art therapist for a day. But then, art like this should never be criticized or analyzed.........it's too beautiful and who would want to take that away?
10 points, but really a picture like this deserves alot more than points. . .
