Description
I've heard the term "takers" thrown around by more than a few of our politicians for a while now... I dislike the term a lot.
Lets all be "takers" for a moment during the holiday season and take some time to remember those who are more unfortunate than we are..

Bright Blessings on this Solstice night,

Great atmosphere and render, Seth!
Great atmosphere and this demand to go whit her without douts.... Hiiiiiii ((5++))
Love the sentiment and the image is superb. The red overtones knocked me out. The following is based on my experiences as a mentor: The takers may end up getting something for nothing but the givers sleep better at night with a clean conscious.
Superb mood!
Well done message, Seth, and one that's all too often overlooked this time of year. I did a similarly themed one a couple of years ago with a young girl called "Random Acts" (pg. 6 in my gallery IIRC). Your lighting on this is exquisite... the whole darn thing is, actually! I wish you and all you hold dear to you only the best, Seth.
Wow, what a fantastic image! Yes, while the bourgeois sick loll around in front of the warm fireplace, fighting other for dear life ... We should give every assistance, Christmas is the time of giving ... But these poor people need not just at Christmas time support ... A fabulous image with very humane message!
good message! she's cool, I really like the light in this. nice work!
Good message. Merry Christmas, Seth!!!
I know what you mean, and a very piongnant image!!... unfortunately we have what I call 'takers ' here... people who sponge off charities because they can, not because they need it
A sign of the times we are living in...and perhaps a glimpse into the future for those of us unlucky enough to be born into a middle class, which is rapidly disappearing, or a working class, also disappearing. Soon we will all be fashioning our own signs, staking out a place on the corner, and calling it our job. Sad...this country has gone downhill significantly, from the haves, the have nots, and the have nones. OXOXOXO Jane
Powerful image and excellent postwork. I hear you when it comes to that term. I'm pretty well disgusted with both parties these days, but the Republicans seem to be scratching the bottom even more than usual. Barely any politician anymore know what it's like to be in another 's shoes and do not even want to try. Well have a Merry and a Happy New Year.
Wow, you know what you were after, when doing the postwork :) , great artwork my friend, and merry Christmas :)
yup, so tired of that term...getting so i am really disliking so much about this country...though, it has truly warmed the cockles of my heart to see some very lovely stories in the news--there really are some wonderful folks scurrying about this holiday season...wonderful scene, Seth--the dark desolation which is the reality of so many is very disturbing...
I like your version of 'takers' a lot better than theirs. A very well done render, and excellent thoughts for the holiday season, Seth!
Touching image, I like the pose and the dark atmosphere,excellent work********
Очень красиво и необычно сделано. Мне понравилось освещение. Это так красиво1
Yep, politicians are large fortunes, who have never had trouble with money ... or they have quickly forgotten. Nice realisation!
This Rocks Seth.
Cool image and style, Seth. A very important subject. In our rich world... Many are homeless and starving.. even on Christmas eve. Sad political tendencies, indeed. Still Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Great work and message, Jeff!! :o)
Outstanding work on this image Seth, with a strong message.
Great image and wise words! Especially these politicians with their fat wallets should shut up!!!!! Merry Christmas!! ;-)
Wonderful commentary and a fine work that puts a human face on the hateful word. Yes, words are often bantered about without ever considering the reality of who those words are talking about. Even sadder, the words are often spewed forth as a means of riling up a base of fearful people for the purpose of either getting a vote, or even more ironically getting a donation for a PAC.
Good lighting and scene!
Fantastic and marvelous creation !!!
Thank you for your sensitive and rightful image my friend,especially in this season, everybody has to be remember,still a lot people and animals are suffering!nobody is can't be insult just for the being poor or homeless!Damn politicians!All of that suffering and problems are mostly caused of them in this world!!Thank you Seth! and Merry Christmas and a healthy and happy new year to you and your loved ones ! :-)
Great mood, very strong indeed, superb work!
