Chris Sullivan from Melbourne, Australia

Powerful juxtaposition, a man solemnly showing care and concern for another living being in a society that isn't doing the same for him. Beautifully captured, your photos always seem to provey a sense of care and respect for the subject which makes them very involving pieces and something as viewers we can empathise with.

This is the beautiful image why warmth of the man and coldness of a background coexist.

I had quite mixed and disurbed feelings about this image Duncan. A successful essay capturing the disurbing issues embedded in modern society, congrats.

Great Duncan. Is this by the Keihan station at Sanjo? I've often seen a lady there with a whole box of cats. The cats always seem very content and well-fed.

Great street shot, and a wonderful commentary on the caring that exists even in those for whom no-one else seems to care.
