Religion and Misery

[AntonioCorreia]

In this image two worlds confront each other: the protected interior, where religiosity becomes an object of contemplation, and the harsh exterior, where the tired body remains vulnerable on the ground. The almost anonymous figure returns the material reality of poverty when set against the symbolic comfort of the sacred.
The distance between them becomes uncomfortable, visible in the difference of light, of floor, of care.
A simple choice of framing and lighting is enough to underline this social and spiritual boundary.

A very interesting image.

If it were mine, I would crop from all sides other than the bottom. There is a lot of material on the edges that distracts from the central focus of the image. I'll paste a quick example below. I would also gently dodge to bring out the person at the bottom, carefully so as not to damage the contrast in lighting. I didn't do that because it would take more time.

+1 to Dan`s suggested edit direction.
