Really like this and its very strong image. Not sure if you seen the debate earlier this week, search for poverty porn in the chat area.
Can you give more details on this, is their a story , did you give them a few quid etc..
I gave them a few euro all right after I had taken the picture, I did not say anything before as I did not want her to start posing for me etc. I took it with a 70-200m mm canon. I was quite far away at the time. It was on the Rialto Bridge.
Did not see the thread you mentioned, will have a look now :)
