Photographer's Note
One of the most interesting aspects of the streets of Israel is to pay attention in the orthodox Jews, their typical clothes, their hats and ways of life. Despite we think about Israel as an old country, in fact it is very new and the number of young people in the streets is huge, while in Greece, where I was before, it is a rarity.
...............................
Uma das coisas mais interessantes nas ruas de Israel é prestar atenção nos judeus ortodoxos, nas suas vestimentas, chapéus e hábitos. Apesar de pensarmos em Israel como um país muito antigo, o fato é que suas ruas estão repletas de jovens, algo que eu não encontrava com frequência na Grécia, onde estava antes.

Hi Jorge
Good sharpness and a reasonable tonal range. The bearded old man resting on the pillar makes perfect focal point. Good sharpness and nice graphism of the dark suited gent against the lighter toned background. Tfs!

Ola Jorge,
yes, he's carrying a heavy burden, himself at least as he's certainly not slim. Well perceived, well taken!
More important for me is your remark about greek versus israeli youth. It is well known that Israelis have the top reproduction rate among all nations following the western life style. Is it that bad in Greece?
Have a nice weekend!

Hi Jorge
Gives a sense of how quite this place gets and your portrait format works fine. The stark fig indeed does look bored and this pic says it all really, but the open sign makes this sweet. Lovely cameos of street life and your timing is perfect. Well done
Best wishes

Hello Jorge,
This is a good example of the slight absurdity that can sometimes be created in street-photos, where totally unrelated items can be combined. I wouldn't expect this elderly man to go to the café after resting his legs. But who knows? Maybe I am wrong. At least you used a good photo opportunity.Kind regards,
Gert
