Anyway the poster is correct, if it's a photo comp then surely you should choose a wide range of situations not just "poor black or opressed black people" It's a very big world you know. I bet Norway, Spain and even the rich people of India take a nice photo. I wouldn't vote for any of these, they lack invention, pick almost any magazine up from the 60s and 70s and you'll see the same images trying to pull on heart strings.

I really prefer photos that don't play the "developing country trife". Far overdone, rather than showing povery and corruption in the world, why not show joy and elation.

The barbed wire and placement of both feet don't make sense to me. Paul I agree something isnt right. The barbed wire and placement of both feet don’t make sense to me.

But I grabbed the rendition and looked for other weird artifacts of post-processing. The only things I could find looked as though the unsharp filter was inexpertly applied. If this is something that's placed in another shot, the edges of the inset should show artifacts when zoomed way in. I don't see those artifacts. It *may* be, but I consider it not likely.

Afterall, there are better places to take snaps of. Focus on i.e. Wheat farms , or cotton, or petroleum from these countries. Look at the positives of a Country not Negative. I should say developed Countries gain i.e. Technologically from developing countries. Hence enable your optimistic eye next. Why can the good parts of various Countries be portrayed ?

The pictures just make it because they're of troubled conditions, not outstanding photos. I agree with anna. The pictures just make it because they’re of troubled conditions, not outstanding photos.
