This is pretty interesting, nice colors, but at least one thing (in my opinion) should be in focus Or is that the point, the beer thing and out of focus. Not sure.

It is really hard to find words for this one. The way you shot this,,, creating the anonymity by not showing faces, but it's still so personal.. These are two human beings trapped in a deadly cycle, one that is usually in the shadows, but forced by circumstance to be public.

Very upsetting photo. These people once had a hopeful future and now, devoid of any it certainly meets the challenge. Nice, brave work.

Could have lost the first half of the title. Great shot though. So evocative. [10]

I wondered if this was a faked shot but as I gazed at the undernourished arms and the filthy clothes I decided it must be real. That certainly causes a sadness in my heart that many other entries have failed to create.
Photographically the image isn't as strong, the yellow background is too bright, the light is bouncing harshly off that exposed upper arm and their faces are a little too hidden. None of this matters as much in this style of image, though I think it would have been even stronger were those elements improved.
