No Smile
This photo was taken at an abandoned dump site just outside the City of Manila, Philippines. And although this dump site has long been abandoned, there are still many families living around and in the area, trying to salvage anything they could, for them to live.

This photo makes me very delightful and sad in the same moment. From technical point of view this shot is great but me as a human being cannot ignore something like this. I fully understand you why you were so touched when you were taking this shot! What can I say, just keep on!
Dennis Bautista  And there's must be something good to come up out of this pic. I do hope that our group can come back there and do something nice for these kids...

a nice boy in a very hard reality.
Good capture, wonderful light.
Maybe the boy does not know that the word "hope"could be exists. It is what I feel.
thanks and congratulations.
Dennis Bautista  I also think that he still does not know the state he's in and that there's actually a better life elsewhere... thanks for the comment.
