Hi, Sergio, this could be very nice picture, if it was not so overcrowded with different details. Taking from another angle could help avoid them and show more detail in the man's face. Nice blur, showing motion of the spinning wheel. Good effort, regards, Sigrid.

From a compositional POV, Imho the image is a bit "busy" and the main subject is confused among the other elements; the waving tools, that are impostant in the "story", are both badly cropped. The B&W is good, although a little weak: it needed perhaps more contrast.

Nice black and white capture of a street person spinning. Good tonal range throughout. I like the use of the slower shutter speed that imparts a sense of movement to his hand turning the wheel (which looks like a bicycle wheel) and the device used to collect the spun yarn. While they don't add aesthetically to the portrait of the man, the artifacts near him such as the "family tree" above his head, the cushion he rests against and the crate/box in the background help to define his world as it is. Thanks for sharing this with us. Lee
