Nice color. The sunlight gives the pic a nice warm glow that is soothing.

Comment by Artan:
I can general observation.
1. If you crop the image just below his feet and position him so that he is in the bottom left corner (rule of thirds), this realy lift the shot.
2. I find the image too bright, for me poverty is encapsulated by dark and moody lighting. I would have tried to use more contrast to try and emulate this.
3. The guy seems to have a great face; it would have been great to have more of that in the frame. This would a better illustration of grit and hardship.
4. As a general observation and you are not alone in this. I do not necessarily associate a musician busking, with poverty, but maybe that is just me.

Close up of the man from chest high up would have been nice, but would have left the cup out. Still, nice photo.

I like to see someone's eyes and find the shadows harsh in this photo. A fill-in flash would have helped here.

a nice imageand a good portrait but it doest say poverty to me. If you had taken it from a vary low angle with some coin in front it might have worked.

Comment by VictorsMind:
Outstanding. Great exposure. You might have cropped a bit from the right and bottom to get the subject out of the center of the shot. Good job.
