In the Ghetto by Elvis Presley

This was a drive by shot on the way to Cape Town.

[Lena Nau]

Really like the shape and gloom. Fav

[Jacqueline]

You processed this shot (background I think) beautifully. There is so much difference in your country it is mind boggling.

[Dawn]

Fabulous processing really suits the title

[Margo]

Great shot of the ghetto. Sad it has to be like that

[Denise Wood]

Great capture for the song title :)

[Babs]

Sad scene. Are those satellite dishes on the buildings?

[Carole Sandford]

A sad scene.

[Paul]

Great song. This scene looks almost toy like. And it is so sad people live like this :-/

[Lynda McG]

Nice processing and image - fav!

[Lou Ann]

Great processing of this scene.

[Rosie Kind]

Such a contrast from your usual shots but I like the processing and contrasting lines in this Fav

[Joy's Focus]

Very dramatic and love the processing.

[gloria jones]

[Suzanne]

[amyK]

Nice processing and grey tones

[Rick]

Cool capture.

@777margo @onewing @carole_sandford @paul10 Yes indeed it is very sad, but it happens all over the world. The majority of them are here illegally from other parts of Africa and nobody knows how many people live there. Yes Babs, those are sattelite dishes. The electricity is also mostly stolen from some neighbour.

[Henri Russell]

Perfect for the song title. Sad to see.

[Sue Cooper]

Gosh! Such a sad shot. Great title.

[Diana]

@henrir @susiemc Thanks, it is so very sad but I had no other choice for the title ;-)

[Louise & Ken]

Wow! I read your follow-up comments as well, and I agree, every city and state deals with getto's and poverty, some living on the street with less than this. But one thing strikes me here as well as in some of the tiny (to my mind), rather run-down little homes...they all had satellite dishes for television. Interesting priorities (again, to my mind...) BTW...that processing for the image is first rate!

[Louise & Ken]

I meant to add, "that I saw in Costa Rica"...

[Diana]

@Weezilou Thanks Louise, I appreciate your response ;-)

[Marloes]

Wow. Great and impressive shot. You've got my song title vote!
