Hi Alex
an important photo job, almost a reportage from your Country that tells us something important about it. The shot is well taken, I like the dark part on the left side and the people out of focus in the background. Congratulations, hope you'll get more visits on this shot.

hi alex,
you really have an interesting gallery - your view on daily life is very personal and the fact that you shoot on film gives your images a very distinctive character.
I chose this one for its emphasis on the fingerprinted wall - your note makes me enjoy this photo even more.
